Mt Hood (11, 249 feet) approaching Portland, Oregon. We will be offline this week traveling in the Pacific Northwest until after Easter.
the sunset hit the steeple of the church at just the right moment. So nice when you happen to be in the right place at the right second.
One of the many lakes in our area that mirror Mt. Hood. It was a surprise, though it should not have been, to discover that the area was hopping with the tiniest frogs I have ever seen. They were everywhere, even though we were watching every step, I am sure we must have squashed a few.
I've been trying to shoot this pear orchard for some time now and when I got off work yesterday and noticed the skies were clearing out I thought I better take advantage of the small window of opportunity that I've got so I packed up the gear and hit the road to see if there were any keepers to be found........
A special thanks to my friends Gary & Carol for inspiring me with their resent comps..........Even though I missed the full bloom I didn't miss the PoV from this amazing "little" piece of heaven...........:)
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week................!

At 11,250 ft, it's Oregon's highest point. This view is from the southwest. (Mount Hood Shots DSC_8749.jpg)

EXPLORE 4/2020 I took this a couple of weeks ago. I could not believe the color that night. This was totally the way it looked.
With an Orionid Meteor thrown in for good measure.

Early sunrise at Mt Hood.
Mt Hood was awesomely covered in red the day earlier, but not this day when we were there. However, there is a "little" glow of reflection in this.
Definitely a place to visit to witness the early sun light on Mt Hood.

In the hood:
You can drop a camera down the side of a hill, freeze, get yelled at, witness a moment... in a mere few hours near MT HOOD.

How to fill my soul cup up, just add DRAMA on any landscape.
YUMMY
As I made my way out of Portland, Mount Hood was my center focus.
Oregon’s tallest peak, Mt. Hood, on a summer morning deep into the northern backcountry on a backpacking trip. I have a special bond with this mountain, as I grew up near it and spent all of my younger years snowboarding there. That said, there were two instances that this mountain really fucked me over.
One time in 7th grade I went up snowboarding with my dad on a crisp blue-bird day. My pops insisted that I put sunscreen on my face, especially because the “bright sunlight will even burn you from underneath” since it reflects off of the snow. Being a douchebag 7th grader, I was WAY too cool to put on sunscreen. But since my dad insisted, I put a dab of sunscreen on my hands, rub them together, then made the laziest swipe on each side of my face. Long story short, going to school the next day was nothing but jokes at my expense because I was sun burned on my entire face… except for two perfect handprints on each cheek.
The other time Mt. Hood screwed me over was when I literally busted my ass grinding a rail. Seriously, my ass was actually broken. But I’ll tell that story another time if anyone wants to hear it.

Here's a wool spin that I haven't posted. This is my friend Ted spinning the wool while Chris Renfro and I operate the cameras. I posted one similar to this one in the past. I liked it much better than this one, which was why this one went ignored, until now. :)
In our trip to Washington and Oregon the weather was sunny without clouds almost everyday.
This was for Sunset at Thrillium Lake.
