There’s something about the change of seasons that makes you want to travel, feel the sunshine on your back, take in beautiful nature scenery, eat great fresh food and local wine and microbrews, take some photos and just relax! We did all of that and more on our late summer early autumn trip to McMinnville, Bend, Painted Hills, Crater Lake, Florence, Newport, Cannon Beach and Astoria, Oregon. Here are some of the photos I took. Keep Oregon free, natural, weird and fun! www.jollysiendaphotography.com

This past week, I had a chance to help a friend move from WA to AZ. Along the way, we saw some spectacular country to include wildflower country meadows, soaring mountain peaks and lakes, and a rainbow and fog in the Sonoran Desert. Here are some photo highlights by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio at www.jollysiendaphotography.com, Bremerton, WA.
