Peterson Rock Gardens, Redmond, Oregon

I found this old picture in amongst my old papers I was going through. I was in high school when my sister and I, and our very good friend Annette took a "ROAD TRIP" to central Oregon. We had so much fun!

We stopped at a small town in central Oregon, and found a tiny, privately owned rock garden, put together by the Peterson family of Redmond. I remember rock paths, rock fountains, rock bridges over ponds lined with rocks ... and teaming with huge goldfish and beautiful waterlilies.

Now look closely at the picture. Do you see something that is NOT a rock? Did you notice it at first? Quack! Quack!

  1. THAT IS PRETTY NEAT, I DIDN'T SEE IT UNTIL I ENLARGED THE IMAGE. MR QUACK FITS IN PERFECTLY WITH THE ROCKS.
    SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH YOUR SISTER, VIVA THE MEMORIES!
    THANKS FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS ABOUT MY DRAWINGS.
    SEEMS AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER I LOVED TO DRAW. HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
    PS
    LOVE THE QUOTE YOU HAVE IN THE BLACK BOX

  3. I had to click on the photo to make it large in order to see the ducky. Very cool!

  4. Sissy! I remember that! This picture brought back so many good memories. Those were great days, weren't they?

    Peterson's Rock garden was in full swing back then--now-a-days it is a little neglected. But still quite spectactular even so.
