SkyWatch Friday: Paulina Peak Clouds and Mt. Bachelor Snow

This morning we went up the hill behind us to bring our travel trailer back home.  (To read more about Tuesday's mini-adventure on getting it set up, please "CLICK HERE").   I couldn't help but notice this cool looking wall of clouds hanging out right where we were headed, and took the next seven pictures of them from our work:

If that cloud bank wasn't there, you would be able to see Paulina Peak from our gravel pit.

On the way up to where the trailer was, it was fun to catch the very first snowfall of the season on camera:

I was pretty excited to get these pictures of Mt. Bachelor at the nine mile marker on the way back down the hill.  Mt. Bachelor is the one with the snow on it.  It is just one of the highest peaks of the long Cascade Mountain Range.

Sigh, reminds me so much of my younger days as we lived in Oregon, or traveled to and fro visiting relatives now no longer living. Such beautiful scenery captured in the right lighting, evoking so many memories.

Thanks Kathy.

BTW, the last picture is my favorite, with the clouds almost covering the mountain. Beautiful.

The 2012 Army All-American Day Event


Photo Source: Nike "The Opening Brochure" Pages 2 and 3
During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.

There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.

As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!
