"The Big Tree" in La Pine State Park, Oregon

Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy ~ Kathy Matthews
Right down the road from us is a wonderful place called La Pine State Park.  In that park, is the biggest Ponderosa Pine tree in the state of Oregon.  It is commonly known as "The Big Tree" or "Big Red".

A few years back, my daughter Kari, grandson Casey, and granddog Boomer went to take a look at Big Red.

A bit past the big tree is the Big Deschutes River, with a nice picnic and swimming spot.

"Admiring A Great Tree In Oregon" is a link to a newspaper article with more facts about the tree.

I decided to make this a SkyWatch Friday post.  The sky is so blue and pretty in these pictures, and you can tell how nice and warm it was on that day.  By the end of next month, it will be so cold around here, and the snow will begin coming down.  To see more beautiful photos from around the world, please "CLICK HERE".  Feel free to add your own and join in.

Awesome tree, thank goodness it is being protected.
That water looks like it would be good for drifting in a kayak.
