I took this photo for my buyers on the day of their home inspection, as this view will be part of what they will get to experience being new owners at Fishhawk Lake! It won't be quite this sunny and bright in December when they take over ownership, bu they will have a boat launch and a boat to enjoy next spring, summer and fall or any season on Fishhawk Lake! (Click here for seasons at Fishhawk Lake).Can't wait to congratulate them and call them neighbors!

Welcome to the ongoing weekly series called Tuesday Travelogue. We are in our 109th week!   Each week, some ActiveRain bloggers are spotlighted to take us somewhere we may not have been on some kind of virtual travel (and it doesn't cost a dime!). Here is the purpose:  to enjoy the ride""take a trip without even leaving the farm""expand your horizons""see through someone else's eyes"  and hopefully much more!Going with our October theme, pre-Halloween, I thought I would take you on some trips through cemeteries. I've always been fascinated--not scared--by them. They offer their own sort of beauty and honor. Maybe visiting them virtually will give you a different perspective...IF you need one. Local Maine Cemeteries.  I love Andrew Mooer's take on cemeteries, it was a family affair, and ...

In most recent months, the onslaught of real estate sales in the Portland Metro area has had a wave effect on what is happening here for real estate transactions 90 minutes away, on lakehomes at  Fishhawk Lake in Birkenfeld Oregon. The pool of appraisers is stagnant, and the average age of appraisers is 58, according to one of the mortgage lenders I worked with earlier this year. The fact that it takes years, possibly, plus a degree to become an appraiser may deter some from entering this field. Appraisers are overwhelmed, with such a high volume of business that those who have transactions pending in outlying areas may find it MUCH harder for an appraiser to be found, and who will accept doing appraisals in a timely manner out here in the coastal range of Oregon. As a result of this ne...

 Friday's Fotos--I ran home to get my camera for this! I was at a home inspection (for my buyers) who couldn't be there on Fishhawk Creek and I stepped out for a bit of crisp September air. I saw this and berated myself for not having my camera.My favorite home inspector, Dave McLean said, "Well go home and get it! It's not like you live so far away!"So I did.(I'm just a mile down the road, with Fishhawk Creek as my boundary also). This view of tranqullity is just one of several that my new buyers will enjoy on Fishhawk Creek. Below, the colors in September before fall makes its entrance.Any season on Fishhawk Lake, Fishhawk Creek or in the Fishhawk Lake surrounding areas is tranquil and peaceful.

It was a weekend of socializing--A taste of the Fishhawk Lake CommunityWe may be remote, but we sure know how to have fun in a small, interconnected community! Friday night we entertained one of my dear friends who lives in LA County in California and who bought  and sold a Fishhawk Lake lakefront home  through me years ago. She called me up as she and one of her best friends were doing the sweep of Oregon, Mt. Hood to the Coast and wanted to visit before heading off to see more of Oregon on her vacation. We had a blast and we caught up on what the "locals" were doing, (including a shared friend at the lake who is moving away and I have a buyer for her home), what she's planning to do 5 years before retiring (scouting out coastal properties in Oregon) and really just being girlfriends! ...

Wordless Wednesday--My First Osprey Capture and Look What He's Got!!I shot this in Mist Oregon. He was far away standing on a telephone pole. (I never realized he had a fish until I looked at the photos later). After living at Fishhawk Lake for 14 years, this is the first Osprey I've ever captured! (Guess I can take that off my bucket list now).

What is it about Sundays that always beckons me to think about the simplicity of Americana art? Maybe it’s the thought of a day spent kicking back and being reminded to take a breath, look up at the sky and be thankful for your day.   This stunning piece sits atop the largest log home here at Fishhawk Lake, soon to have a new owner who will love what this weather vane presents, a beautifully winged creature holding one of our other sacred symbols here at Fishhawk Lake, a salmon. The weather vane imparts to me an ongoing symbol of America--something universal that we find in many small towns and countryside communities across our great nation.  A “Fish Hawk” is actually an osprey, and we are lucky enough to have them grace our skies through the seasons. It is our Fishhawk Lake community ...
