Lat week I paid a visit to the Dalles Mountain Ranch on the fringes of the Columbia Gorge. It's one of the first places to find spring wildflowers. Although this year not quite as many.
The photographer I visited with gets into her work. Me, I'm a bit shy about picking up ticks, which are common there.
You have ample views of the Columbia Gorge, but there was a bit of haze that day.
Pretty flowers, best in the morning or as the sun sets to take advantage of the low rays light.
There are some great old homesteads nearby too, but they are on working ranches, no trespassing signs are abundant. Good vantage points are hard to find.
In the park there is a display of old farm equipment that makes for great shots too. I'll leave those shots to you.
Oh, oh, I see some sensor dust on a couple shots
, gotta clean those up 
Happy shooting.
