Home

Oregon - Another of the Beautiful States on the North West Pacific Coast. I loved my visit to Oregon. Reminds me so much of my home state of Victoria here in Australia.

Lake Trilium; Actual size=240 pixels wide

This photo is one my favourites - if not most favourite of all the photos I took while on holiday in North America. In the foreground is Lake Trilium and in the background is Mt Hood. I just love it how you can see the reflection of Mount Hood on the lake. A very beautiful place to visit and experience.

Mount Hood; Actual size=240 pixels wide

This is Mount Hood. One of the beautiful mountains that you will find in Oregon. I had the priveldge of going up there to pay a visit. I couldn't believe that in the middle of July that there was still snow and there were people skiing and snowboarding down the summit. I really enjoyed my visit there.

In the Snow; Actual size=240 pixels wide

What's this - Wearing shorts and T-shirt in the snow ? *laughs* Actually it was the middle of July and I wasn't cold at all. I justed loved trudging there in the snow in my summer clothes - was so much fun *smiles* Just couldn't resist taking some photos *laughs*

Timberline Lodge

The Beautiful Timberline Lodge. Has a great view of Mt Hood and the surrounding mountain ranges.

Another photo of me and the secondary falls in the background

This is another photo taken of me with the secondary waterfall in the background.

The secondary fall again

A beautiful photo of the secondary falls. One of my favourite Multnomah Falls photos that I took.

Crater Lake National Park

This is another beautiful Photo - Crater Lake National Park. I had the priveldge of my friends taking me to here and it was well worth the long drive. It is so beautiful and breathtaking and it is very high up in the mountains. That explains why there is snow there still in the middle of Summer. The Crater is actually an Extinct Volcano that filled up with water.

A closer shot of the waterfall

This is the zoomed in photo of the previous photo. Notice how blue the water looks in both these photos. Oregon is such a beautiful place to be in. I really enjoyed my stay there.

Snow and Ski; Actual size=240 pixels wide

I just had to ask one of the people that were skiing there that day if I could borrow their ski and look as if I was the one skiing *laughs* A pity I wasn't wearing the right gear *laughs* Though it did turn out quite well - especially me standing there in the snow in shorts and t-shirt *smiles*

Standing in front of the Multnomah Falls

This is me standing with the secondary fall of the Multnomah Falls. They are so gorgeous..

Multnomah Falls

I love this photo too. Shows just how beautiful these waterfalls are. Infact the Multnomah Falls are one of the highest Waterfalls in the USA - and the one of the most beautiful too.. I loved visiting there and that is why I took so many photos *laughs*

Some more beautiful waterfalls

Oregon has such beautiful waterfalls. This is yet another example of how beautiful the state of Oregon is *smiles* I was playing with the zoom on my camera here so I took one as it was normal distance.
