Oregon

May’s Virtual Field trip is to Oregon. The photo opportunities are endless and can take us from the Columbia River Gorge to the Alford Desert to the coast and endless areas in between. Please share with us your favorite area to photograph in Oregon. If you haven’t been there, maybe now is a good time to plan a short photo trip to Oregon.
