Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

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.

Thanks Kathy.; October 6, 2011 at 12:18 PM
