This was from the lovely viewpoint at Sandy, Oregon. I love this spot for its accessibility. Just drive, get out of the car, and you are greeted with this view. Jonsurd Viewpoint is a hidden jem in Sandy, Oregon. The was an incidental shot, as I was awaiting for the blue moon to raise from behind that majestic Mt. Hood. As we were waiting for the moon to come up, the sun was setting behind us. It was such a lovely scene, the shadows running ahead – first over the trees, then the sandy river, then the plains and then over Mt. Hood itself. For a spilt second, the last rays of the sun kissed the tip of Mt. Hood - creating this surreal scene !
Wanna enjoy some sunshine Wanna feel some happiness Wanna feel vibrant - Head out to the Tulip fields :) Out in the west we have Skagit Tulip farms or the well known Woodenshoe Tulip farms (where this was shot). Out in the east the prominent one is at Holland Michigan. If you love tulips then these places are worth a visit. You have to plan ahead if you want to see the fields in bloom, the tulip season is short, late March to early May. If you have never experienced acres and acres of blooming tulips in every color you can imagine, you should at least go once. It is spectacular.
When ever I need a shot of tranquility, When even I need to rejuvenate, When ever I need a kick in the butt, When even I need to find my self - I get to nature. This shot is from a lovely night at Mt hood. It is always quiet an experience to be admits nature and once the sun goes down its even more intimate :) It has been quiet a while - time to make some plans and shake some hands, with nature !
