This was taken . Many people love this shot because the footprints look like they are popping out, when they really are pushed into the sand. I’ve been told that if you look at it upside-down, you can see the imprints. Either way I love the shot!

This was taken May 2004 about Memorial Day. As in most places, they had a large parade, a city party, and a service at the cemetery. It was an amazing site to see all the flags!

This was taken a couple weeks ago in Kings Valley. I love covered bridges, and Oregon seems to have an abundance. I’ve taken pictures of a few, and I hope to find many more.

This is of Mount Hood just east of Portland. It was taken June 2003. I was on my way to Maupin to go river rafting, and it was so glorious I couldn’t pass it up.

This one is for those still experiencing winter. It was a beautiful snow in December 2008. I hope for those who still have snow that it melts for you soon. If it doesn’t, you can always move to Oregon!

I love catching birds in flight, and so that is what I did while I was at the Oregon Coast a couple days ago. I took several shots, and only kept a few. This being one of those few. I know they aren’t majestic birds, but they are graceful and somewhat peaceful to watch (not to listen to).

This was taken a couple of days ago in Newport. The bridge over the harbor is massive and beautiful! I love going to the bay front and seeing all the shops and just looking out over the harbor. On good days you’ll see some seals playing too!

This was from our trip yesterday. It is of a Sea Sun at the Hatfield Marine Science Center operated by volunteers and OSU students and professors. It is a free place to take the kids, and they have all sorts of stuff to do and see! It was wonderful!

This one is from today when me and my family went to the coast. It was in Newport, more specifically at Agate Beach. The beach has a wonderful view of the lighthouse, Yaquina Head, which you can see in the background. The wind was wonderful, and the sun was glorious! A wonderful day at the beach, especially for February!

Well I think for my fiftieth day I need to do something nice. This is what I chose. Those who know me know I love a few things in this world more than anything (besides my children and my husband), the color orange, the beach, and sunsets are some of those things. This encompasses those three. It was taken just north of Newport in June of 2009.

This was taken a couple weeks ago in Kings Valley. I love dew drops on grass, well dew drops on anything really. One day I hope to perfect my dew drop shots. But this one I couldn’t pass up because the grass was sparkling like diamonds. It was breathtaking.

I took this last night. The sun was setting and I couldn’t resist. The coloring was so dynamic! Again, that is Mary’s Peak and the Coastal Range in the background.

This was taken about a week ago just north of Corvallis on Airlie Road. I think it showcases nicely what the Willamette Valley is like. You have the flat grass fields, with beautiful Coastal Range foothills behind them. The grass fields in the Willamette Valley are flanked by the foothills to either the Coastal Range or the Cascades. It makes for some very scenic and photographic drives!

There was a request made for recent photos, so here is one I took a week ago. It is close to a creek by Kings Valley, OR. My husband has been asking me to take more reflection shots, since with our rain here in Oregon, there is ample opportunity to do so. Well I saw this shot and seized the moment. I think it turned out quite well, and I certainly enjoyed the blue sky!

I’m sorry, I am a sucker for orange. I thought this one was especially nice because it transitioned from a pale pink into bright orange at the tips. I couldn’t pass it up! This too was taken in Portland in June 2003.

This was taken at the rose garden in Portland, and I call them Valentine Roses. I do not know their actual name, but since they bloomed in red, white, and pink all on one bush, I had to call them Valentines! This was also taken June 2003.

This photo I titled ‘Yellow Twins’. The rose bush they were on had plenty of roses, but they were all singles. These were the only ones to grow from the same vine. This was also taken at the rose garden in Portland in June 2003.

I have had many requests for current photos, so I guess my “old” collection is getting, well, old. I promise, once I am done with my Valentine roses, I will be posting more current pictures! Today’s picture was also taken June 2003 at the Portland Rose Garden, which I have since learned is actually called the International Rose Test Garden. I guess people from all over the world try to get their roses showcased here. It is a beautiful garden, and it is quite diverse.

This was taken in the Portland Rose Garden in June 2003. This is perhaps one of my favorite shots of a rose. Orange is my favorite color, and the dew on the petals just takes your breath away!

Well today is a special day in my home, and I decided to do something special on here! From today until Valentine’s I am going to showcase my roses. These certainly aren’t my personal roses, but ones I have shot throughout Oregon. This one is from the Portland Rose Garden and was taken June 2003.

This was also taken February 2005. It is the railroad track in south Corvallis near Avery Park. I have walked along these tracks many times, and taken many pictures near them. They have such a classic and undisturbed look, I love it!
