Neighborhood Photos



I'm posting again today even though the 2 earlier ones were written and composed last night.
About 2 blocks from my place is this bluff on the river with the docks, industrial area below. Everything, even in January, is very lush & green. Note the moss in the "street sign" on the sidewalk. It's been cold here-10s, 20s & 30s, but everyone, grateful for the sunshine & not rain, is out running, walking, biking.
It was beautiful this morn with a pink hue over the river and the hills. The University of Portland is located on the bluff on the right above the river. In the hills across the river, is this gigantic city park, Forest Park (5,000 acres & 30 miles of trails). Driving along the bluff & over the beautiful St John's Bridge, it's just a mere 4 miles from my abode.

Your pictures are great! I think I emailed you this but, I love the dogs in the snow photos!

While I have been back to visit Seattle a lot since moving, I have only been back to Portland once - in about 1999. Hard to believe its been so long. I'll enjoy seeing your pictures until I can get out there myself - this summer looks good for a combined and long overdue trip to Seattle/Portland.

I am happy for you but will miss seeing more regularly! Sharon
