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 One

This is an oldie, but goodie. This is one of my favorite shots. I took it October 2008 with a Samsung point and shoot camera. I love it because it shows the wide array of colors that fall in Oregon can bring. The foliage in Corvallis usually looks like a bag a Skittles with all the reds, yellows, oranges, and greens. It never ceases to amaze me at the bold and striking colors you see driving down the road.
