Cape Perpetua

Another beautiful scene on the Oregon coast.



"Situated between Newport and Florence along Highway 101, Cape Perpetua continually draws visitors with incredible views, magnificent forests, and all-out beauty in many forms. Encompassing approximately 2700 acres of land, the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area boasts twice the botanical mass, per square acre, as the Amazon jungle in South America."

Majestic McLaughlin

We are very close to Crater Lake here. There are still 55 inches of snow at the top of the mountain.

I'm headed out of town now and will post pictures of the lake when I get back home Sunday night.

The Tree

I think the tree outshines the barn in this shot. This is also on the way to Crater Lake.

Mt. McLoughlin

Two weeks ago and friend and I drove up to Crater Lake National Park, Oregon's only National Park. The Lake is absolutely breathtaking but I'm posting some of the gorgeous scenery along the way first.

Mt McLoughlin is a volcano south of Crater Lake. It last erupted about 20,000 years ago. It's highest peak is 9454 feet and it is covered with snow year round.

I'm back.... with a barn

I'm finished with my break. I needed to step back from photography for a bit. Occasionally I get so caught up in something that I can only see things from that perspective and my life becomes unbalanced.

I am rebalanced (if thats not a word it should be) and I can't wait to see what everyone has done while I was gone.

And, of course, what else would I come back with but a barn :) This great old barn is on the way to Crater Lake.

Phantom Mountain

One more photo from our snow day. I drove up above town to get this shot. Fog often settles in the Roseburg Valley and on this day, with the low fog and the sun on the mountain, it looks like the mountain is floating above the town.
