Crater Lake National Park, Oregon





"Crater Lake National Park", Crater Lake, Oregon, I swear they must color that water, it is just so so blue. Dreamy lovely blue. It was freezing cold. Woke up in the campground to frost in the AM. So worth it though. Loved every second. I was hoping to meet the folks who owned that VW, such an awesome van. I bet it is super retro inside. Love all those colors and patterns. 


Enjoy the video from that day. Such a gorgeous National Park, I hope you get to travel there soon as well, if not, this will tide ya over. Beth ( :

Crater Lake is a gorgeous place. I've visited there a few times and each time it's different. You are right the water is insanely blue. That VW Van is awesome!

Hi Beth, it's been a busy time and blogging has been hit and miss for me for awhile now. I know I've missed some great photos and I'll need to come back and try to catch up. The lake shots are fabulous, it really is a beautiful blue! How long did it take to drive from VA to OR? It is a state I've never been to. Would love to go sometime. Have a nice weekend!
Hugs, Cheryl

We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
