SkyWatch Friday: Blue Skies over Paulina Peak, Mt. Bachelor and His Sisters



On Tuesday this week, the sky was finally blue!  I was driving along Hwy 97 north of La Pine, and pulled over on the shoulder of the road to take these beautiful pictures:

These two are of Paulina Peak, which is a mere 13 mile drive away.

These are Mt. Bachelor, The Three Sisters (South, Middle and North) and Broken Top.  Mt. Bachelor is around 35 miles away:

    Hi Kathy -- I am so glad to have found you. And I loved the "taste of Oregon".... We'll be heading back there next month. We lived in Springfield until after retirement when we sold out to become full time RVers. When we were working we used to spend a lot of long weekends in Central Oregon.

    Your pictures are beautiful and made me homesick for mountains! Not too many of those here in Florida ;>).....Thanks for visiting me and giving me the opportunity to find your lovely blot!

    Fantastic photos for the day, Kathy! They always take me back to Oregon!! Such beautiful skies and mountains! Love the dramatic thunderstorm capture, too! Hope you're enjoying so good weather -- ours is once again back to grim and gray! Ah, one of these days?????? I hope to see blue again for more than a couple of hours! Have a great weekend!

    Thank you, everybody! I'm off to visit you now, if I haven't already.

    It was snowing here even last week, but I do think that spring is finally here.
