Overview

Oregon A to Z and Oregon Wild and Wonderful are coffeetable quality photography books in a miniature size. They are a perfect gift and personal remembrance of Oregon. Photographer Fred Pflughoft has captured the natural wonders of Oregon from the Pacific Coast through the Columbia Gorge, up high in the Cascade Mountains and into "Oregon's Outback." Turbulent rivers, bountiful trout streams, rushing waterfalls, and placid lakes are presented here with an artist's eye for nature's beauty. Included are quotes and quips about Oregon by the famous, such as John Muir, Mark Twain, John F. Kennedy, and Oregon's own "Merry Prankster," Ken Kesey. Build sand castles on the beach, watch bull riding in Pendleton, try wine tasting in Dundee (Pinot Noir, of course), tour a City of Books, climb mountains, catch record size steelhead, glide through fresh powder on Mt. Bachelor, or hike a series of forest trails. Oregon will set your spirit soaring.
