July Calendar Photos – Eastern Oregon Landscapes I have chosen two of my favorite Eastern Oregon landscapes as the July Calendar Images. Red Mountain Lake is the featured image. We hiked in for the day on the 4th of July in 2018. It was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold.

But please don’t let those things alter your perception of the beauty that these last days of winter can bring. Honestly, March is one of my favorite times of the year.
