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

I took this shot today, January 20th, with my Canon Digital Rebel XS (which I will simply refer to as my Canon XS in future posts). As I mentioned in my last post, everything here in the valley is dead. Some winters we get snow, but most winters are just like this one. So what’s a girl to take pictures of when the world around her is dead, there are no waterfalls, mountains, or beaches close by, and there is no charisma to be found. Well I make do with what I am given and improvise! I found a near-by stream called Oak Creek here in Corvallis. It runs from western Corvallis past the fairgrounds, through OSU, and I am not sure where it ends up, perhaps in the Willamette River.
