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 Twenty-Nine

I took this September 2007 at the Portland, Oregon LDS temple. If you have never been there or driven past it, you should. The building is beautiful! My husband and I were married here, as well as all of my siblings. This is the reflecting pool in the front where many bride stand to get a picture of them and the temple reflecting. In fact I took this on the same day as my brother-in-law’s wedding, and I took many pictures of his bride in front of this pool. Again I recommend going to see the temple grounds if you can!
