Sunday Scenes

Since Spring has sprung and work has eased up, it's been fun getting out and about and enjoy the beautiful sights here in Oregon. Last weekend we hiked the trails around McDowell Creek Falls so thought we'd take you along too! The first stop is a teaser of the falls to come...

Because the next stop is the Royal Terrace Falls which are 119 ft high...

And of course McDowell Creek...

And then Majestic Falls at 39 ft high...

We even saw a tourist from Kansas so we took a picture of him taking a picture!

Actually the tourist is my dad - he was here petsitting Angel, Isabella and Sadie while we were in Colorado for a few days (thanks Dad!) and he took the time to enjoy our beautiful state!

Hope you enjoyed this brief glimpse of some of the Spring sights here in Oregon!

Have a great Sunday!

PeeEss: Thanks for staying with us Grandpa! We miss you!

Sadie, Isabella and Angel!

Oregon Getaway time!!

Here's another waterfall in this beautiful state of Oregon. I took this photo of Latourell Falls which is located in the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland, OR. The falls plunge 249 feet over columnar basalt and is most recognized for the bright patch of lichen on the cliff face to the right of the falls. It's one of several waterfalls in the Multnomah Falls area and is well worth a trip to see them all!

I'd also like to tell my cousin Loretta - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Weekend Getaway!

I'm continuing the tour of great Oregon sights by including a picture I took of Horsetail Falls which is east of Portland in the Columbia River Gorge. An earlier post introduced Multnomah Falls and this waterfall is just down the road from those majestic falls. Check back in later weeks for more Oregon sights!

More traveling around Oregon

On this cloudy Saturday morning I'm thinking of the blue skies to come and visiting more beautiful sights in Oregon. This includes the many waterfalls throughout the state. Today's post is a picture I took of Sahalie Falls which is just off Hwy 126 in the Willamette National Forest along the McKenzie River. This waterfall is 140' tall and was formed thousands of years ago when lava flows buried parts of the river. It is certainly worth stopping and exploring when driving through the Cascades of Oregon!

Words not necessary!

I took this photo of gorgeous Multnomah Falls located east of Portland, OR. Breathtaking!
