Sunrises and rainbows!

This week what makes me happy (and has since we moved here to Oregon!) are the amazing views we have surrounding us.

We live in an apartment building which backs up to Devil's Lake State Park. The view from our balcony is astonishing! (There must be people who pay millions for houses with lake views like ours!) We very rarely go a day without saying something about how pretty our view is!

Yesterday morning, there was an amazing sunrise over the lake!

A week or so ago, we had views of an amazing rainbow over the lake late in the afternoon! The rainbow lasted a long time - coming and going in intensity, and even having a double sometimes. We were able to get some pretty good photos of it, too!


I think maybe people get tired of me posting our lovely views! I know I would be jealous of someone else's view like this! :) We will be hard-pressed to find a prettier place to live. I don't dislike our apartment, but I do wish it was bigger (and the appliances leave a lot to be desired!) At some point, when Mike is employed again, we will very likely try to make this a permanent residence by purchasing a home. But... we will forever love our lake view apartment! (See more photos at Flickr!)

  2. Oh wow, yes it's incredible. I long for a bit of wild open space. If you ever get to England you should visit our Lake District - so beautiful.

  6. Welcome to Oregon! Lincoln City was the first place I ever visited on the Oregon coast. I was traveling from Alaska to Maine via Tucson and drove to LC from Portland. I fell in love immediately. I lasted in Maine for about 2 years but pined for Oregon. I had an opportunity to move to Oregon and I jumped at it even though I'm not on the coast and I'm almost in CA. I still love it here but hope to move to the coast someday.

    My friends are moving to Fort Collins tomorrow - I hope they like the icebox.

    Here's to a great Oregon adventure!
