July with Lavenders again

4th of July, Wednesday. Finally a holiday for us! With no doubt, I took this opportunity to visit the farms and lakes around Oregon again. This time I visited the Lavender Farm in Hood River. That was around 1 hour 45 mins drive from Hillsboro. The view there was awesome due to the great sunny weather. Love the colors there! 🙂

七月四日，星期三。今天是難得的美國公共假期，終於可以鬆一鬆，到附近的花園和湖邊遊覽一番。今天我去了兩個地方，第一個就是位於胡德河附近的薰衣草花園。七月正是薰衣草盛放的時候，那裡的花真的讓人目不暇給。天氣超好的，配搭著花園裡不同顏色的花朵，還有後邊清晰可見的胡德山，整個景觀真的很漂亮。:)

After the lavenders, I also went to the Trillium Lake near Mount Hood. My second visit to a lake in Oregon, really cool. I was expecting to see some reflections on the lake, but due to a lot of people activities there, the lake was not calm enough to show reflections. I shall visit there again for more shots.

在花園逗留了一個小時後，我就啟程前往下個目的地：延齡湖。這是我第二次遊覽俄勒岡的湖光山色，真的很不錯。那裡其實是個人造湖，可以直接看到很壯觀胡德山就在前面。可惜的是天氣太好，人潮也多，很多人在湖面上泛舟，游泳，所以根本沒辦法看到湖面反射山和天空的美景。不過我還會再來，下次一定要能夠拍到美麗而又靜止的湖光山色。

Here is my first try on time-lapse, enjoy. 🙂
我在這裡也嘗試了微時攝影，感覺還不錯，還有很多地方改進。
