Emma Colley's Random Travels

..A Photoblog post of my random travels.

"Create a life you do not need a vacation from." unknown

We have visited various lakes located in the city of Lakeland. This is Mirror Lake and Hollis Garden.



I love this water fountain.








Some of the pretty flowers seen at the garden.

The walkway around Mirror Lake.



I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.


I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!

Hike to Mirror Lake

  I am linking up with Fiona's Green Day and Tricia's  Watery Wednesday II and Linses Cotton's  Scenic Weekend 

HAPPY MARCH, everyone.. I am really looking forward to spring....how about you?

 I decided to post these smaller photos, if you like to see a larger image just click on the photos.
 Here we are hiking to Mirror Lake in Oregon near Mount Hood.









Our hike circled the lake so we had various view of the lake as we walked.

In July the wildflowers were plentiful and looked beautiful, I believe this is called Indian Paintbrush.


It was well worth the hike to Mirror Lake to see this pretty reflection of Mount Hood.


I hope you enjoyed coming on the walk with hubby and I. We had a great time and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery of Oregon.


Thanks for stopping by to see my post and thanks to Tricia the host of Watery Wednesday II  and to Fiona for hosting Green Day  and to Linses Cotton for hosting Scenic Weekends.  I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

Mount Hood, Oregon

I wanted to do some more of a trip reports on Oregon. This post will be on the Mount Hood area and the hike we took to Mirror Lake.

It was a clear day the first time we saw Mt Hood, so hubby and I were both in awe. Some of these photos you might have seen on my other blog Viewingnaturewitheileen

Above is the Mt Hood Lavender farm.



I was able to zoom in pretty close to see all the snow at the mountaintop.


We had such a beautiful day for traveling around the Mt Hood loop. A gorgeous blue sky and great views of Mt Hood.



We stopped at the lodge for a late lunch. We had a nice table near the window for more views of another mountain either Mt Jefferson or Mt Adams in the distance.

 I do love these big stone fireplaces, this was looking down at the lunch buffet in the lodge's dining room.




I think there were more people there to enjoy the skiing than to enjoy the scenery.


Now we are on our hike to Mirror Lake. It is a 3 three mile round trip hike.


Along the hike, I was enjoying all the tree covered with this hanging moss.


We arrived at Mirror Lake and enjoyed the pretty view of Mt Hood and its reflection. I have so many photos from our trip, it is hard trying to choose which shots to use on my blog. So, I will be doing more of my Oregon travel reports. We had a great time and hubby loved Oregon so much he would like to retire there. I am still hoping to retire in a warmer climate. I hope you enjoyed my travel photos and stop back again to see more soon.
