Smith Rocks in Oregon

 

Sunday, Rachel took Rebekah and I to Smith Rocks.  A rock fortress that towers above the ranches in the plains.  We watched the sun beginning to set behind the mountains, making the peaks just glow.  The sun's rays appeared to shoot out of the mountain, turning the Smith rocks toward the North East a reddish color.  It was just as Rachel had said.  The closer we got the more beautiful it became.  Then as we gazed over the wooden fence into the canyon below, we gasped as the most beautiful painting was revealed.  It was hard to believe I was actually witnessing this in person.

 

 

We thought this glowing boomerang cloud was neat as it seemed to encircle the tops of the Smith Rocks.  What a beautiful ending to our first day in Oregon!
