What The Heck Am I Doing?

This blog all started with an idea, as most probably do. I wanted to make a coffee table book of my scenic photos from around Oregon. It would have been called "Oregon 365: From Beach to Burns". I want to capture Oreogn in its finest all during the year. I have lived in Oregon for 15 years, and although I admire the beauty throughout all the United States and World, I think Oregon is a very diverse and beautiful place to live. We have lush evergreen forests, peaks that rise into the sky, gorgeous coastline, rolling hills, valleys, desert plateaus, canyons, rivers, lakes, and streams a plenty! There is so much in Oregon to admire, I feel you can go anywhere and find beauty. So that is the purpose of this blog, to admire and recognize the diverse beauty throughout Oregon.

Day Eight

This was taken February 2008 on a hike that me and my family went on near our apartment in northern Corvallis by Chip Ross Park. It was taken with a Samsung S85. The tree had fallen and was severely worm-eaten. However, the most of the swirls and knots were formed by the tree itself. I have never seen such a sight before or since on any tree. It was so fun to climb on and around and see all the different designs in the wood.

F-Stop: f/4.9

Exposure: 1/384 sec.
