Smith Rock State Park in Central Oregon
I’ve wanted so badly to visit Bend and surrounds again this year, and just haven’t made it work. Soon, I hope! 🤞

That is one cool cat hanging out at Ankeny Square in #Portland. (And ironically, he’s red hot! 🔥) #OregonExplored
If this is hell, I don’t wanna go to heaven.
Happy Labor Day weekend y’all! 🥳
#Portland is pleased to boast many fine murals, but this one is definitely my favorite. It’s always a good day when I get to ride past. 😍 #OregonExplored

A view of South Waterfront and the Aerial Tram, looking east from the OHSU medical complex.
It was pretty hazy that day, but I still think this is one swell vista!

This lavender field (I think that’s what it is? lol) at Elizabeth Caruthers Park in #Portland was simply stunning! 🤩 #OregonExplored #nofilter

Western Trillium — a staple of forests in the PNW but only at certain times of the year and not always easy to find. I was immensely grateful they were within easy reach of the trails at Tryon Creek State Natural Area just outside #Portland. 😍

I actually didn’t realize when I took this photo with my iPhone how incredible the lighting was. I saw it in my photo library a few hours later and went wait, what?? A couple tweaks for contrast and color tint in Lightroom later, and boom! 🤩

Midsummer Adventures at Mt. Hood
You can rarely go wrong visiting the tallest mountain in Oregon and a true jewel of the Cascades: Mt. Hood. This time, I visited in August 2023, taking the ski lifts up the slope from Timberline Lodge and then hiking back down while enjoying the epic views. Then I dropped by Trillium Lake for the first time. Wow! This location was definitely worth the hype. Gotta go back…

Snow over the weekend, sun on Monday, joy in this photographer’s heart!
