I really wanted to capture Three Sisters, but couldn’t find a good place to pull over and with my dad along didn’t want to do one of my usual “wander the backroads until you find a spot or give up” moves 😎. . - - - - - #Wanderlust #Wanderer #Discovery#NeverStopExploring #Travel#lifeofadventure #traveldeeper #TakeAWalk #mountain #cascademountains, #travelphotography #landscapephotography #justgoshoot #getoutside #expandyourmind #santiampass #Oregon #USA #roadtrip #Culture #exploretocreate #dametraveler #thecreatorclass #createandcapture #sheisnotlost #BJPWanders #bjpwandersOregon #fujifilm_xt3Painted Hills, Mitchell, Oregon – May 2019 - Another indication of volcanic activity in Central Oregon. The hills and their layers of color tell stories of historic upheaval and volcanic activity. In one area we walked among the mounds (the hills are off limits for random strolling but there are paths in some areas) of different colors – the light lavender of some were indicative of activity from 40 million years ago, while the reddish hills were more recent – only 33 million years old. 😉 the thing I found most interesting is that the red soil is actually increasing. The red is caused by iron in the soil and as more of it oxidizes over time, the more red soil is exposed. - I imagine that the variety, saturation and nuances of color change based on weather and time of day. Some of the green and yellow you see in these photos is vegetation and wildflowers – and there were orange wildflowers just on the cusp of blooming, too. - - - - - #Wanderlust #Wanderer #Discovery#NeverStopExploring #Travel#lifeofadventure #traveldeeper #TakeAWalk #river #hills #volcanic #travelphotography #landscapephotography #justgoshoot #getoutside #expandyourmind #desert #Oregon #USA #roadtrip #Culture #exploretocreate #dametraveler #thecreatorclass #createandcapture #sheisnotlost #BJPWanders #bjpwandersOregon #fujifilm_xt3Painted Hills, Mitchell, Oregon – May 2019 - Another indication of volcanic activity in Central Oregon.

And it’s not just in this specific area. About 30 miles away is Cove Palisades where the Crooked, Deschutes and Metolius rivers come together - another amazing location. - - - - - - #Wanderlust #Wanderer #Discovery#NeverStopExploring #Travel#lifeofadventure #traveldeeper #TakeAWalk #cliffs #geology #travelphotography #landscapephotography #justgoshoot #getoutside #expandyourmind #desert #Oregon #USA #roadtrip #Culture #exploretocreate #dametraveler #thecreatorclass #createandcapture #sheisnotlost #BJPWanders #bjpwandersOregon #fujifilm_xt3Smith Rock State Park, Terrebonne, Oregon – May 2019 - Look closely at the wall of rock. - - - - #Wanderlust #Wanderer #Discovery#NeverStopExploring #Travel#lifeofadventure #traveldeeper #TakeAWalk #cliffs #geology #travelphotography #landscapephotography #justgoshoot #getoutside #expandyourmind #desert #Oregon #USA #roadtrip #Culture #exploretocreate #dametraveler #thecreatorclass #createandcapture #sheisnotlost #BJPWanders #bjpwandersOregon #fujifilm_xt3Culinary Fool on Twitter
