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 Sixteen

This photo was taken June 2003 with a FujiFilm FinePix 2300. It is at some rapids called Boxcar on the Deschutes River. My family used to go rafting down this river every summer. It is located probably 100 miles east of Portland by a town called Maupin. It is a wild river to raft, and depending on the what month you go and what the mountain run-off is, you could have some outrageous or tame rapids. Either way the scenery is superb!
