Trillium Lake is a lake situated 7.5 miles (12.1 km) south-southwest of Mount Hood in Oregon. It is formed by a dam at the headwaters of Mud Creek, tributary to the Salmon River. It was created by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife in 1960.
The area which is now the lake was part of the Barlow Road, a component of the Oregon Trail. A log road across marshes allowed immigrants to pass to Summit Meadow, which was a toll station from 1866—1870. Trillium is a genus of flowers particularly noticeable in the area.
The lake is popular for fishing, camping and photography, often clearly reflecting Mount Hood. The lake is a very popular Nordic skiing destination from a trailhead across U.S. Route 26 from Snow Bunny.
So the story with this image. I had been to Trillium Lake 2 times. First time it was loaded with people on the lake, but a nice sky. Second time it had no people, except for the guy who owned this canoe, who stood by patiently as I did my shooting. It was calm across the lake but the sky was nondescript. So I have combined the first visit sky onto the second visit lake.
So we had the perfect set up for wave watching. Full moon, high tide and Pacific storm all came together for these images. Most images of Fogarty beach show the rock formation on the south side of beach, so I turned my camera and shot to the north. I was taken by surprise at how far one of these waves came in. I came away with wet shoes and jeans.

I am learning the fine art of stitching together images. You have to stand so close in the area where I found this waterfall, I couldn't shoot the entire waterfall. So I have combined my upper and lower shots together. It's a skill I need to master.
Shotgun Falls is an easy to reach Oregon waterfall, dropping over the distinct basalt formations which produce so many of the lower elevation waterfalls in the foothills of the Willamette Valley. The falls, plunging 96 feet along the small Shotgun Creek, it is the only cataract currently cataloged in the Molalla River basin.
This photo was taken near McKercher Park.
The Calapooia (cala - POO - ya) River is an 80-mile (130 km) tributary of the Willamette River in the state of Oregon. The Calapooia was named for the Kalapuya (also spelled Calapooia), a tribe of Native Americans.
The McKercher Park to Brownsville section of the Calapooia River is 7 miles long and is, according to American Whitewater, a class I section of whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable.
A double rainbow on Sauvie Island, Oregon with a flock of geese. Shot last September. Word is a small storm is approaching tomorrow that will help with the fires and move out some of the smoke.
The Prineville Reservoir is in the high desert hills of Central Oregon. The reservoir is on the Crooked River 14 miles (22.5 km) southeast of Prineville, and 29 miles (46.7 km) east of Bend . This reservoir is a popular retreat for most of Central Oregon. It is near the geographic center of Oregon. Prineville Reservoir State Park is managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
Prineville Reservoir was created by damming, via the Arthur R. Bowman Dam, the Crooked River upstream from Prineville. The reservoir is part of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Crooked River Project, flooding a juniper- and sagebrush-filled canyon, and was finished in 1961. The dam and reservoir are owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, and operated under contract by Ochoco Irrigation District. Prineville Reservoir covers 18 miles (29 km) of the Crooked River and is primarily an irrigation storage water body, with secondary objectives of Crooked River flood control and public recreation. Prineville Reservoir has a maximum depth of 130 feet (40 m) and storage of just over 150,000 acre feet (190,000,000 m3) of water.
Captured this hunter at a marsh located near Lyons, Oregon on the 4th of July.
We are now exploring the northwest corner of Oregon.
The Molalla (mo-LA-la) River is a 51-mile (82 km) tributary of the Willamette River in the northwestern part of Oregon. The Molalla is the largest Willamette tributary unblocked by a dam.
During the early 19th century, the area around the river was populated by the Molala people. During that time, an extensive system of trails along the river allowed trade between the peoples of the Willamette Valley and eastern Oregon. As late as the 1920s, the trails were used by Native Americans from the Warm Springs Indian Reservation to reach huckleberry-picking grounds near Table Rock.
Whitewater enthusiasts sometimes run the upper reaches of the Molalla River as well as the lower. Under certain conditions, the 5.1-mile (8.2 km) stretch from Copper Creek to Table Rock Fork can be navigated by boaters capable of handling technical class III (intermediate) to IV (advanced) water on the International Scale of River Difficulty. Below that comes a stretch, about 5 miles (8 km) long, of class III to III+ water. Hazards on these upper miles may include narrow chutes, sudden drops, and logs in the water. The next 8 miles (13 km), Turner Bridge to Glen Avon Bridge, are rated technical class III to IV with hazards similar to the upper reaches but also including scouting difficulties as well as a dangerous undercut at a rapids called Goldilocks,
It is always a peaceful setting when you can capture a sunset on the Oregon Coast.

seen last year on this day on the final day of our driving adventure to Arizona and back again. The weather was pretty dismal but we only experienced rain on the last two days of our trip so nothing to complain about and besides its the Oregon coast in November !
this past week was my first time traveling to Portland Oregon and I have to say that I absolutely loved it. can't wait to go back.

Once in a while, I see people riding on the beach and it's always a pleasure for me to see a horse. I couldn't tell if Tidda was more interested in the dog or the horses. I had her on the leash, of course, because you don't want to risk spooking a horse.
The tile is not a political statement, though I could pontificate on that for some time. No, the title is simply a fall image from Oregon. I am not usually a fan of shooting abstracts like this. In this case I saw the tree in the field, enshrouded by the solid precipitation and I instantly saw the image in my head. I had to shoot it. You would now know it, but this is not some isolated field, there are homes just 200 feet from that tree, the fog was just that thick. Not a lot of processing on this one, just a simple image trying to show fall. Let me know what you think.
A scenic drive enjoying Oregon's beautiful coves, interesting rock formations & sea caves along the coastline from Newport.
Thanks for your warm visits, comments, faves and invites.
Have a wonderful day!
The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is a special place. One of the largest expanses of temperate coastal sand dunes in the world.
Cline Falls is one of the highest waterfalls along the Deschutes River in Central Oregon. It is a steep segmented cascade. The falls drop approximately 20 ft (6.1 m) through several channels carved into the basalt cliff that cuts crosses the riverbed. The falls are approximately 50 ft (15 m) wide with an average flow of 200 cu ft/s (5.7 m3/s). However, the flow over the falls varies throughout the year as a result of irrigation water being taken out of the river above the falls during the summer. The falls have a forward run of about 50 ft (15 m), descending at 77-degree angle through the cataract.
