A View From My Window


Whenever I mention that I live in Oregon, the response I usually get is about how rainy it is. Although it does rain a fair bit here, we have great weather too and the summers are perfect. Personally though, I love Springtime the best.

Salem, Oregon is a great place to work and I am privileged to work in the Labor and Industries building which is located right on the Capitol Mall close to the Oregon State Capitol building. Right now, the trees are covered in light pink blossoms and it's just an awesome sight to behold. I am also blessed to have a desk by a window where the view is just wonderful.

Today I remembered to take my camera with me and had fun during my break-time taking some photo's of the beauty that I see each and every day!

This is literally the view from my office window - not bad is it?


This sculpture is called the Sprague Fountain, just look at that blue sky!

A view from the other end of the fountain shows the Oregon State Capitol Building

My dad always told me to look up into a tree toward the sky and take a photo, so I did!

What a wonderful world!

What a beautiful world indeed! I especially love the first and last picture. I love the blue sky through the pretty flowers in the last one. I just wish that YOU were in a few of them... I miss you!
