Desert gardens, Oregon - a photo on Flickriver

Desert gardens, Oregon

While walking across the sand dunes on a 3.5 mile hike to the coast, we stumbled upon a little wet area in between. It looked like there was once a small creek flowing here, which got dried up with time. It was like an oasis in the middle of a desert. And these small plants with those beautiful flowers were growing.

These Wind-sculpted sand dunes of Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area(NRA), some of them towering to 500 feet above sea level were formed by the ancient forces of sun, wind, water and time. These sand dunes are like no others in the world and are the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America.
