With the sunny weather we are having in Oregon, I decided to take the family out for a trip to our local giant historical waterfall, Multnomah Falls. There is still a lot of snow on Mt. Hood which does add to the falls flow.
I have always had a love for nature and getting out these days does not have too much nature involved in it. What can you do? Go out to the park, which many are overlooked, or they overlook a house(s) or business.
I know that is just part of living in a populated area and big city, but it is always good to make sure you truly get out and experience and see nature for yourself with your own eyes. It is good for your self-being and relaxation and stress management.
One of the best parts to experiencing nature is the pictures. We are still learning and playing with our new Nikon D90. Nature provides for some of the best shots possible. Oregon is known for historical landmarks I am thinking about trying to showcase them which would be a good way to get practice. Below are some pictures we took of Multnomah Falls and the Columbia River Gorge.
I also have a short video I took of the river flowing what looked to be upstream and east. Some info about the Columbia River, it flows from Canada through Washington State and Oregon flowing west into the Pacific Ocean. Since that recent earthquake in Chile, I am taking it that the surges from the Ocean made their way up the Columbia. It’s weird because I have never noticed the river this calm and flowing the wrong way. Check out my pictures.

That waterfall is insane. Makes me want to visit Oregon…looks awesome. You know…an excellent vlog would be you going over it in a barrel like Niagara Falls.
Haha, the only problem is the base of the falls it is about 5 ft deep. I have seen the videos and stroies of people and not all made it. Come check out Oregon and the PACNW, lots to see and do.
We did not make it to the top that day since it was getting cold and we ended up driving to Hood River, OR. Its the home of Full Sail Brewing Co. Beer and another brewery called Big Horse Brewing (good food and beer). They have some others, then again we have breweries all over Oregon.
