Larch Mountain from Multnomah Falls

Ann and I did a 14 mile hike with 4,000 ft elevation gain from Multnomah Falls in the Columbia Gorge to Larch Mountain.  Here are some pictures.

 

 

Three Arches - April 20th

Ann and I went to Three Arches in Oceanside to take pictures, and collect agates today.
It was partly cloudy so I was able to get some sunset pictures, though it clouded up and wasn't a spectacular sunset.

 

Black and white

The are still some old buildings and barns remaining here in Washington county. This abandoned house is along my running route on the west side of Hillsboro.  It is kind of sad that people find it necessary to tag everything that doesn't move. 
It was a gray overcast day so I though black and white would be the way to go in these photos.  I still have a lot to learn about black and white photography, but here is my first try.

I just love the steps to a long gone tree house in this tree.
