Mount Hood, also known as Wy'east, is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt. Odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at 3 to 7%, so the U.S. Geological Survey characterizes it as "potentially active", but the mountain is informally considered dormant.

I read that there is a lot of sunspot activity at the moment, so I went out with my Canon Superzoom and a solar filter, and took some shots...
Yup... The spots are definitely active!
