That fake plant framing your left shoulder during Zoom meetings? It's a little sad. The wandering kitty in view? That might be OK, but those dirty dishes? That could definitely use an upgrade.

Then again, what’s with all those tropical palm trees and sunny beach shots your coworkers are using from the generic Zoom backdrop bin? This is the Northwest!

One-up your workmates and friends with reminders of the epic Oregon and Washington backcountry trails and scenes that await once this pandemic is in our rear view mirror. In that spirit, we welcome you to these "Oregon Field Guide" Zoom backgrounds that can elevate your next meeting with a touch of local wonder.
