It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love…

While we were onour annual summer road trip driving through the state of Washington an unexpected storm hit the southern cascades regin and closed some o the roads we were supposed to take and rendered our campground inaccessible. Due to this unforeseen weather phenomenon we had to scrap our plans to get to Mt Adams and had to reevaluvate our travel itinerary.

Since this is one of our favorite areas to explore we had some familiarity with the area and decided to reroute our trip to Bend, Oregon and to explore some of interesting locations around that wonderful town. One of the locations we speced as a must have was the beautiful Sparks Lake. Last summer we were there for a beautiful sunrise so this time we decided to make it’s a sunset shoot. Thankfully, there were nice cloud cover as we approached the lake but that turned weird as the wind started to pick up. As sunset neared the wind had whipped up the clouds together and the mountain wrapped the clouds around its peak. The sunset provided the color.
