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 Twelve

I took this picture January 2005 with a FujiFilm FinePix A340. It was taken in grass fields just sprouting southwest of Corvallis. Oregon claims to be the grass-seed capital of the world, and the county next to us claims to be the the actual grass-seed capital, but there are really grass fields all up and down the Willamette Valley. In this shot it looks like sunset, but I took these shots in the middle of the day. This was a fun shot for me to take because I love to get perspectives that people don’t normally look at.

F-Stop: f/5.6

Exposure: 1/60 sec.
