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-Two

This picture was taken last night, January 21st, with my Canon XS. Have you ever had one of those moments where you saw the sky and just knew that the sunset or sunrise was going to be spectacular? I went out yesterday around dinner time to get my son from a neighbor’s house only to see the blue sky with clouds smearing it that were subtle shades of pink. At that moment, I knew, I just knew that something amazing would happen with the sky. So I got my son and had him race me back home. I grabbed my camera, and here is my shot. I would describe this as the sky being on fire! The peak in the background is Mary’s Peak. (If you click on the image it will become larger.)

F-Stop: f/5.6
