This is Home

Recently my family spent a day hiking at Silver Falls State Park, about an hour drive from our house. It was a sunny and beautiful hike and I was really struck by how wonderful it all was. As I am preparing to leave home for a year, one of my goals is to take in all the beauty that is here, so that I can fully appreciate all the beauty that is there. The pictures I took don't really do the falls justice, but they do offer a glimpse of what makes Oregon such a lovely place to live.
