This is the town of Hood River, Oregon, with the gorgeous Mt. Hood towering over it, as seen across the Columbia River, from White Salmon, Washington. Even after six years of living here, it still amazes us at times how beautiful our area is. We are so lucky to live here.

Speechless Sunday - Black Widow!
 
Our 13 year old son, Sam, found this charming guy under the chair our other son was sitting it! He sprayed it with raid then once he was dead he taped him down so we could get a better look. Eeeekkk! The body alone was almost an inch long, the legs making him look even bigger. You can even see that tell-tell red hour glass on its belly.

Wordless Wednesday - The Columbia River Gorge from Vista House
 
The Columbia River Gorge is such a gorgeous natural phenomenon, a river carved canyon separating the states of Oregon and Washington. I took this shot from the Vista House view point on the west end of the gorge, looking east. Vista House at Crown Point is located at 40700 Historic Columbia River Highway, or the Corbett exit off Hwy. 84 (just 20 miles east of Portland).

"Click It, Or Ticket!" Columbia Gorge Seat Belt Enforcement Drive NOW!
 
We all know it's the law, but how many of us put on our seat belts every single time we get in a car? Here in Oregon it is even a primary offense, meaning a police officer can pull you over if he notices your seat belt not on (in some states, you can only be ticketed if pulled over for something else).
That's a $110 ticket in these parts, folks!
Of course, even more importantly, it's your life that's on the line every time you don't buckle … (1 comments)

Speechless Sunday - High Country
 
I took this photo on the way to a new client's house in Mill A, Washington this afternoon. As the name of the town suggests, this is logging country and although the photo doesn't show it as well as I would like, the drop off here is drastic, plummeting to the river hundreds of feet below. This is a mere four miles from the Columbia River. The peaks and valleys here are simply stunning.

Wordless Wednesday - Mt. Hood & Spring Blossoms... Finally!
 
The entire Hood River Valley is finally covered in colorful spring blossoms. The region is rich in fruit trees, especially pear, apple and cherry, bringing white, pink and peach colored bursts across the valley. I especially like this shot, framed by the great Mt. Hood.
