Thanks, Alan. I just posted a Travel Guide Article of my Southeast Oregon trips - just to inform folks about this lightly visited, but scenic area. I also posted a link to that article in the "Landscape" presentations. I hope that was OK.

(...... hope this is OK.) I just posted a "Travel Guide" article regarding some wonderful our-of-the-way photogenic spots from my trips to SE Oregon. https://www.focalworld.com/threads/southeast-oregon.31687/

- Barren & Beautiful In the very southeast corner of Oregon there is not much. Its wide expanses of sagebrush with occasional rolling hills and escarpments under a wide-open mostly blue sky. They call it “The Sagebrush Sea”. On one of my trips in June, there was abundant wildflowers...

Amazing images, Murali. Thanks for putting this together and pointing some good spots.

This June, I took a solo camper/truck trip into the interior of British Columbia to seek out the grasslands there. I have enjoyed all my trips into southeast Oregon with the sagebrush hills and wide open skies. So this year I thought about exploring similar landscapes within my own province...

Wow .... I need to find this place! Nicely done, Larry.

Wow .... you caught it - nicely done. Picture Lake? I think I have seen the iconic photos but I have never been there. Can you drive there? I was in the Romanian Făgăraș Mountains in 2002 and they were selling large prints of Mt Shuksan in a gift shop. I didn't see any mountains there...

Thanks, Jim. I will clean it up and see how it goes. Maybe I will keep my Lowe case zipped up all the time. - Dave

I got a Nikon refurbished Z50 about a year ago. I am having trouble with getting spots on the sensor. I do not change my kit lens - its the only one I have. I use a Lowe case, but do take the camera into the bush and on dusty trails. I have used a D90 and D3300 for many years and very rarely...

Nice ...... I like the flare from the sun. Did that just happen or did you do something there? Where were you? And was this taken from a drone?

Wow .... lots of great Spring shots here. The flowers and blossoms are amazing. Around mid March to mid April, the wildflowers begin to come out on the mossy hills around Victoria, BC, Canada. These Satin Flowers are some of the first to show up on the hills above the Juan de Fuca Strait. We...

Great shot (and a great spot). We camped there a couple of Decembers ago. I think the DJI drone is doing pretty well. I am tempted to buy my neighbor's Mini 2 (not 4K) that he doesn't use. I could probably get it for around $300CA ($220US) - then go through the scarey learning curve. My son...

Great color and mood, Michael. It looks like a great area to explore.

Around mid March to mid April, the wildflowers come out on the mossy hills around Victoria, BC, Canada. These Satin Flowers are some of the first to show up on the hills above the Juan de Fuca Straight. We are looking over to snow still on the Olympic Mountains in Washington state.

Hey.... thanks for starting this, John. There are many amazing images here. (I really like your "March" rock.) My contribution is a shot of one of our favourite places in March - Anza Borrego State Park, just below Palm Springs, CA. The flowers were magnificant in 2017.
