I am very fortunate to live in the beautiful state of Oregon. My husband and I have traveled to many other amazing places in the world. But when it comes right down to it nothing compares to home, at least in my mind.
We live in the Willamette Valley which lies between the Coastal Mountain Range and the Cascade Mountain Range. We are just a little over an hour from the beach and can also be in the mountains in about the same amount of time. There are trails everywhere! All kinds of parks and ways to have adventures in order to spend time in nature.
So this post is short on words and long on photos. I just thought I would share some of the amazing things I have seen while out on my adventures. I hope that where ever you are and what ever you are doing you find a way to go out and appreciate the beauty that is around you!
If the picture doesn't have a specific location indicated that means it is just on my bike rides or runs near my home in Albany, Oregon.
