Picture Parade Two Hundred and Thirty-Seven

Part Two of a pictorial account of our recent trip to Klamath Falls and Crater Lake.

Covering Sunday, 18th March, when we travelled from Klamath Falls up to Crater Lake and then Monday, 19th March, when we returned back from Klamath Falls to Merlin, OR.

Part One of this pictorial account is here.

To Crater Lake – What would the day bring??

oooo

Certainly much snow. In fairness, much of this was from the snow blowers! But still ….

oooo

Roads on the approaches to Crater Lake were ‘interesting’!

oooo

And there is was! Crater Lake in all it’s glory!

oooo

Anyone for a White Christmas – in March!!

oooo

Probably best not to go too close to the edge!

oooo

Then in the blink of an eye it was Monday and the day when we returned home!

Time to go home. Goodbye High Country!

oooo

Who was it that mentioned snow blowers!!

oooo

Back to the familiar and very beautiful sights of home!

oooo

Back to rural tranquility!

The photograph above shows a returning Canadian goose nursing her unborn chicks in their eggs with ‘Dad’ keeping an eye on things close by.

Our beautiful home. A wild flower close to our stable block.

oooo

Andy, me, Jeannie and Trish.

Thanks Trish and Andy for inviting us! Big hugs from Jeannie and me!

Picture Parade Two Hundred and Thirty-Six

A pictorial account of our recent trip to Klamath Falls and Crater Lake.

Last Satuday, the day we drove from home up to Klamath Falls to meet up with Andy and Trish.

On the road to the high country.

oooo

Reading a little about the geology of the area.

oooo

Looking dowm on Upper Klamath Lake

oooo

Then ten minutes later alongside Upper Klamath Lake itself.

oooo

To the South-East of the lake lay the city of Klamath Falls.

oooo

Blast! Didn’t bring any food for the wild deer!

oooo

We decided to eat in the first night. Jeannie and Trish doing the honours!

oooo

Andy looking on while Jean and Trish chit-chat.

oooo

Outside the trees spoke about the weather we would be experiencing tomorrow.

Our trip to Crater Lake would be tomorrow’s event; as in last Sunday. More photographs for you in a week’s time!

What glorious country!

Revelling in the beauty of Crater Lake!

Over the weekend Jean and I went up to Klamath Falls to spend two nights in the company of good friends, Trish and Andy, who live in Tucson, Az.

Last Sunday we all jumped into our car, a GMC Canyon with 4WD, and drove the 60-odd miles from Klamath Falls to the Rim Village Visitor Center.

Talk about impressive!

Here are three photographs that I took that are presented untouched, as in no post processing, that I wanted to share with you.

More details coming along, plus more photos for the next Picture Parade.

The first was taken during Saturday afternoon when Jean and I were on our way to Klamath Falls.

On the road to the high country!

The next photograph was taken when we stopped in one of the many ‘turnouts’ along the highway going up to Crater Lake. In fairness, the high snow bank was more a result of the snow blowers than falling snow … but still!

Rumour has it that it had snowed in these parts!

This last photograph, for today anyway, is the sight of Crater Lake!

What an incredible landscape!

P.S. Happy Birthday, dear Morten!
