I like to see a fellow Oregonian appreciate the beauty of our state. Growing up here I feel so blessed to have such diversity. People think Oregon (NOT ORA-GONE but OR-GUNN) is always raining. Where I live on the Southern Coast by the Ocean - yes. It's pretty windy and rains frequently in the winter with mild summers. The climate is about 40-60 Farenheit all year round but in Eastern Oregon it gets quite hot in the summer and snows in the winter. Oregon has many amazing waterfalls (as you see depicted in the photo) and mountains as well as beaches and no sales tax and lots of lighthouses to visit! OK, I'm done with my travel advertisement.

Bit different from my Portland! Mine has a wide street, storm lashed sea cliffs, stone quarries, and a mediaeval castle (-:

Thanks for the awesome photos! I've lived in Portland area all my life. The Columbia River Gorge is my absolute favorite place, more so that the ocean. The drive on both the OR side and WA side are fantastic. The people are nice, too.

These sure do make me miss the PNW. I've only visited once (briefly), and have been itching to go back. Great shots!

The brown grass is visually very unappealing . Is it the type of grass ,or, caused by drought ?

I've always liked the contrast to the spring green. The eastern gorge is very dry midst of the year, so the grass always turns brown.
