​​Oregon is a nature paradise. Trees, rain, rivers, and lakes. These four main components is what builds up Oregon. It's...wonderful. No matter what season. The blossoming Spring the blazing Summer, the golden Autumn, and the frost filled winter. Oregon is also home to a huge body of water, a blob of blue shining below the american sky. Crater lake. I have always wanted to visit there. It wasn't always a lake though. About 7,700 years, a volcano erupted so much, it collapsed. It became a giant crater, that soon filled up with water. Aside from that, there are many other historic structures. For example, old growth forest. Fun fact: old growth forest trees can live up to 100-150 years old. That means if a tree was from 1924, it would still be alive today! Something that makes Oregon awesome is that it is on the coast, making it easy to get to the beach. Overall, I love Oregon. What's something that you like about this state?
Drawing of a forest scene with a cabin, trees, a child sitting in a tree, the moon in the sky, forest animals
