Great Outdoors

The past two weekends I’ve been lucky enough to hit the trails around here, and I’m so grateful. Don’t know why I haven’t made the time to do so more often. Nothing better than getting outside to clear the mind and strengthen the soul. What an amazing world we live in. Photographs can’t ever really capture the beauty fully, but here are some attempts.



Nesmith Point trail looking down at the Columbia River











Morning at Bench Lake near Mt. Adams













More Bench Lake (This view was just a few yards from our campsite, beautiful)











Anyone know what kind of flower this is?












Little Mt Adams











Hope you've enjoyed these, and that you are able to have your own outdoor adventures this summer.

  1. I believe the flower may be Rydberg's Penstemon. It's found all over Oregon and Washington, and blooms later in cooler areas.
