Just thought I'd share some pics of our beautiful state! We drove up to Timothy Lake, near Mt. Hood in Oregon yesterday. We met our friends there. It's a 3 hour drive for both of us! We had a great day fishing, visiting and eating!!!! :lol:

Anyway - I thought you might enjoy these pictures.

This is Mt. Hood from a boat on Timothy Lake

Odd wildflower - If I had the energy I'd go out to the TT and get the flower book and identify it.... :mrgreen:

Awesome!!

Beautiful pictures. I have a nephew in Portland and I keep telling myself I really need to get out to see that beautiful state.....oh, yes, and my nephew, too. :lol:

Beautiful Pictures!!! I love this time of year when the rhodies are blooming all over!!! Sunday I was on a viewpoint where I could see Mt Hood, Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens....I love the PNW :D :D :D

Beautiful!!

Stunning pics, thank you for sharing.

Beautiful photos we don't have mountains in Ohio so I love looking at them from other states.

Beautiful -- thanks for the trip!!

Great picture and glad you had a good time! Did you catch fish?

Very pretty. Thanks for sharing.

thank you! Yes, Oregon and Washington are gorgeous! I've lived in Oregon all my life...I love it here.

DH caught 3 rainbow trout...and friend caught 1. They were planted so the meat was white and soft. Every year, Fish and Wildlife Division plants fish in the rivers and lakes.....the challenge now is to catch fish that are at least 2-3 yrs old...and that have gotten pink flesh and firm!

Lovely pictures--sounds like you had a "fun" day!

(that's what summer is for.......)
