A Bluebird Day In The Oregon Cascades

The lakes in Central Oregon’s High Cascades become filled when the snow melts in late spring, and can be especially beautiful. Snow-covered South Sister and Broken Top add to the beauty on this June day at Sparks Lake. (The watermark is for copyright protection and will not be on the printed photograph.)

Summer Reflections at Sparks

Special moments at Central Oregon’s Sparks Lake…watching the sunrise create a tangerine sky and spread its light on Broken Top, seeing the warmth of the sun form a layer of fog over the lake, and enjoying beautiful reflections in the calm of the early morning.

Serenity At Sparks Lake

I wasn't going to let a windy day spoil this beautiful spot. This is a center crop from a 4-shot pano that I created using a 5-second long exposure to calm the lake's surface. Always a place of beauty. (The watermark is for copyright protection and will not be on the printed photograph.)

Pristine Sparks Lake (Vertical)

Snow-covered South Sister is the star in the early evening on this day in the Oregon Cascades. Hoped for calm weather and interesting clouds, but instead found wind and a clear blue sky. This 8-second exposure calmed the lake and helped to create some sweet reflections and deep blue colors. (The watermark is for copyright protection and will not be on the printed photograph.)
