Lounging Around on Mary's Peak

     Have y'all been keeping up with my YouTube videos from my trip to Oregon? Well... if you haven't... click the word "YouTube" in the header and check them out (there are three weekly vlogs to see)! The point of me asking if you have watched them? Well, in the third and final vlog, Trevor and myself drove to Mary's Peak and we had some problems. By problems I mean we got stuck on a snow bank... on a cliff... on a narrow road... on the mountain. It was scary and I had a mini heart attack.

    

     Luckily, we were able to get unstuck and decided the safest thing to do was head back down the mountain and pull off at a view point! Our goal was originally to make it to the top and look out over Oregon, but I think in the scenario we were in... the view point was a great alternative (mainly because it was safe and my life wasn't being threatened on the edge of a cliff). We parked at an area that was about half-way up the mountain... it had two picnic tables and an outhouse, so I decided to lounge around! The views were nothing short of beautiful, as they always are in Oregon.

The Sunset on Winter

     Winter always feels like the longest season. Am I the only one who feels that way? I spent the remainder of my winter and start of my spring in Oregon this year as ya'll would have seen. As a New Jersey girl who sees flowers bloom a little later and browned leaves hang on a little longer, I could not believe all the pretty buds blooming in Oregon... since early March! Not only was the scenery of pretty colors coming to life a complete joy, Oregon gets some amazing sunsets!

     On the final day of winter, Trevor and I headed off to this field at the end of a very long road to take photos as a newly engaged couple (the photos are a few posts back, check them out)! While there, I took center stage in front of the camera for some shots with the sunset. The final sunset of winter that is. Do you see these colors? The photos are not even edited! It makes me so happy that something could be this beautiful, and it makes me that much more excited for the warmer weather to wrap me up. Basically, I just wanted to share this sunset with all of you and show a little appreciation for the change of season. Spring... you are so welcome.
