[//]:# (!pinmapple 44.26160 lat -121.66821 long d3scr) ##### <center>**On a recent sunny day I took a little drive into the eastern [Cascade Mountains](https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/cascade_mountain_range/) foothills. I started my drive in the small town of [Sisters](https://traveloregon.com/places-to-go/cities/sisters/), where I live, on the edge of the pine forest that dominates this landscape before it opens up to the high desert of Central Oregon. Driving west out of town on some of the backroads, I found some mountain views and more I thought I would share. So follow along as the tour begins.😀🚙**</center>  Mt Jefferson  The three shots below are from my first stop on the northern side of [Trout Creek Butte](https://oregonlookouts.weebly.com/trout-creek-butte.html). It was a bit of a hazy day and later I will show a picture that shows the reason why.  Mt Jefferson and Black Butte dominate this pic with the tip of Mt Hood visible about 75 miles away.  Mt Washington  Three Fingered Jack I decided to switch over to my telephoto lens and capture the same shots but a little more zoomed in. 😄  The tip of Mt Hood.  Mt Washington  Three Fingered Jack  Mt Jefferson <div class="pull-left">  A couple panoramas I stitched together in Lightroom to show the immensity of the pine forest on this side of the Cascades. </div> <div class="pull-right">  Click for larger view. </div> -----  A zoomed shot showing the town of Sisters. Here you can also see the reason for the haze in the distance. This is a [pre-scribed burn](https://www.nps.gov/articles/what-is-a-prescribed-fire.htm) and we get several of these a year down here. > Prescribed fire is a planned fire; it is also sometimes called a “controlled burn” or “prescribed burn,” and is used to meet management objectives. A prescription is a set of conditions that considers the safety of the public and fire staff, weather, and probability of meeting the burn objectives. While I understand the necessity for this activity, getting engulfed in smoke on a beautiful day is a little depressing. 🙁 <div class="pull-left">  </div> <div class="pull-right">  </div> ----- Turning my attention to the west and south The North Sister becomes the dominant player on the stage and the skies a little more blue. 🙂  Back on the road toward The Three Sisters.  A lone pine with a bit of moon just to the right of it. <div class="pull-left">  </div> <div class="pull-right">  </div> A quick stop at Trout Creek. During the spring this creek will run full all the way down by where I live. This time of year it is nothing but a dry creek bed that far down. Here is an old post I did when it was full of snow melt last May. https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@oldmans/seasonal-creek -----  The North Sister  The South Sister. Unfortunately from this vantage point The Middle Sister is hidden behind The North.  I stopped here to relax awhile in nature. I do this quite often while out in the woods but until recently didn't realize there was a name for it, [Forest Bathing](https://www.forestryengland.uk/blog/forest-bathing). > This Japanese practice is a process of relaxation; known in Japan as shinrin yoku. The simple method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing nature around you whilst breathing deeply can help both adults and children de-stress and boost health and well being in a natural way. <div class="pull-left">  I usually think of it as matching my energy to that of the forest so pretty close to the same. 😀 </div> <div class="pull-right">  </div> ----- <div class="pull-left">  </div> <div class="pull-right">  </div> I had hoped to get in some good practice with my telephoto lens and I was pretty pleased with the results. Might be some of the clearest shots I've taken with this lens. -----  <div class="pull-left">  </div> <div class="pull-right">  </div> ----- A little splash of fall color and a last look at The Sisters before heading home.
