It had been many years since my "live-in gardener" and I traveled
to Crater Lake National Park.
Since we were not too far from there we decided to take a drive
through the trees for a visit here.
The lodge is so beautiful and I could have easily spent many hours
sitting by the fire or out on the veranda looking at the lake.
The rocking chairs were vintage and quite a few were enjoying
the near 90 degree day.
Amazingly, today it is snowing there.
What a difference a few days make.
The views were amazing from every angle.
Wildflowers too!!!
I do love our National Parks and pray they will be protected from those that care less.
A gorgeous day!!
The water really did look like this.
The blue is caused by the minerals that settle to the bottom of the lake.
Wouldn't you just love a winter scarf in those colors?

Turning to look away from the lake, a hard thing to do, it was just as spectacular.
I was mesmerized by each turn of my head.
At times I just had to lay down the camera and savor the sights.
What a special, unexpected adventure to this majestic park in Southern Oregon.
What parks have you visited?
Each one is so very special!
