Hike to Mirror Lake

  I am linking up with Fiona's Green Day and Tricia's  Watery Wednesday II and Gemma's  Scenic Weekend 

HAPPY MARCH, everyone.. I am really looking forward to spring....how about you?

 I decided to post these smaller photos, if you like to see a larger image just click on the photos.
 Here we are hiking to Mirror Lake in Oregon near Mount Hood.









 
Our hike circled the lake so we had various view of the lake as we walked.

In July the wildflowers were plentiful and looked beautiful, I believe this is called Indian Paintbrush.


It was well worth the hike to Mirror Lake to see this pretty reflection of Mount Hood.


I hope you enjoyed coming on the walk with hubby and I. We had a great time and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery of Oregon.


Thanks for stopping by to see my post and thanks to Tricia the host of Watery Wednesday II  and to Fiona for hosting Green Day  and to Gemma for hosting Scenic Weekends.  I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

    I've always loved your trips and the photos are always fabulous, especially that snowcapped mountain and reflection, so beautiful. and those wildflowers are so colorful too, they will look good also in domestic gardens.

    That view of Mount Hood and the reflection is certainly well worth the walk. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Eileen,
    Is there any place more beautiful than Oregon...and, especially, Mt. Hood? I live in Bend and enjoy seeing the snow capped mountains each time I go out.
    Thank you for stopping by my blog.
    I appreciate your kind comments.
    Have a great week,
    Smiles,
