A few weeks ago my Hubby and I went on a trip to Southern Oregon. Part of that trip including staying at the Lodge at Crater Lake. As much as I am not a snow bunny Crater Lake has been on my "To Do" list for most of the 25 years I have lived in the Northwest. So, this year I decided to make sure I crossed off a few items on that list and I am so glad I did. :)
Here are a few of the nearly 800 photos I took of the Lake :)
Crater Lake is part of the Cascade Mountain Range. It was created when Mount Mazama erupted and the crater filled with water. It is known for the intense blue of the water and it's high elevation. We were there on the first Day of Summer and it was snowing. Also, one of the roads around the lake was still not open. Banks of snow lined the one that was open (pics to follow another day :)If you want to read more about this beautiful Lake go HERE :)
I hope you enjoyed my Photos of Crater Lake :)
Happy Painting/Creating! :) T.

I especially love the shots where the clouds are enveloping the peaks in a misty plume.
Gorgeous pictures - I wish I was somewhere as stunning as that at the moment, alas I'm stuck in Cardiff,wales UK in a muggy office building!

Wow so pretty! I live in Salem and would love to go to Crater Lake. My parents took me when I was little but I don't remember it.
Beautiful pictures. It looks very calming. It is amazing that the mountain in a couple of the pictures looks like it is crying with the snow melting down it!

I'm so glad that you're interested in the penpal project. I just tried emailing you by replying to your comment, but I'm not sure if it went through, so I thought I'd stop by here, just in case, to say that if the email didn't work, just send me a quick message at omydarlingblog(at)gmail(dot)com

Oh wow - stunning photography!! You have captured their awesome beauty so well :)
800 photos, wow, how did you ever choose these few to show us?? They're amazing though, I love the little island in the middle of the lake (can one go there?) and the mist at the top of the mountains. It looks like it was a wonderful trip!
oh. that looks refreshing!
Wow, it looks like an amazing place. Beautiful photos.
Isn't it amazing how many photos you can take before you realize it?! It looks like a restful place to spend the day.
Beautiful! The water looks so inviting. If it weren't so cold, that is. Wonderful photos.
