I was just north of Madras as the morning sun began appearing over the horizon. I got these shots of the sunrise and Mt. Jefferson.  Mt.
Jefferson Fun Facts: Mount Jefferson is an inactive volcano
in the Cascade Range and at 10,497 feet, is the second-highest mountain
in Oregon. Situated in the far northeastern corner of Linn County about
60 miles (96 km) east of Corvallis, Jefferson is in a
rugged wilderness and is thus one of the hardest volcanoes
to reach in the Cascades.

| A bit farther South, just
outside of Redmond, I got these shots of the Three Sisters mountains. Three Sisters Fun Facts: The Three Sisters are volcanic peaks in the Cascade Range in Oregon, each of which exceed 10,000 feet (3,048 m) in elevation. They are the third, fourth, and fifth highest peaks in the state of Oregon and are located in the Three Sisters Wilderness, about 15 mi (24 km) southwest from the nearest town of Sisters, Oregon. The three peaks have 15 named glaciers among them, nearly half of all the 35 named glaciers in Oregon. The Sisters were named Faith, Hope, and Charity by early settlers North Sister is 10,085 feet (3,074 m) high and is oldest of the three Middle Sister at 10,047 ft (3,062 m) is the smallest and most poorly studied. It is also the middle in age South Sister at 10,358 feet (3,157 m) is the youngest and tallest volcano of the trio. It is a stratovolcano which last erupted about 1600 years ago |

Mary brought home some roses so I had to get a few closeups  |
 |
 |
 |
 A rose is a flowering shrub of the
genus Rosa, and the flower of this shrub.
There are more than a hundred species of wild roses, all from the
northern hemisphere and mostly from temperate regions. The species form
a group of generally prickly shrubs or climbers, and sometimes trailing
plants, reaching 2–5 meters tall, occasionally reaching as
high as 20 meters by climbing over other plants. |
