Rick's Roadshow: Portland, Oregon

Welcome to another installment of Rick's Roadshow. This post comes from Portland, Oregon, where I am on a quick business trip. I was so busy in Portland that I barely had time to take many photos. I did capture a few good pictures of Mt Hood, which is so beautiful. These photos below are mainly from the Lake Oswego area. I took these photos after my early morning walk.

above left: The lake had a flock of ducks (or is it a gaggle) swimming happily in the water. Above right: the square had these jets of water shooting up fromthe ground. The water danced around quite merrily in the morning sun.

above: This part of Lake Oswego was very quaint, with really nice public areas and walkways. There was plenty of public art on display, which is always good indication of a town's culture I think. On the top of the pile of rocks is a statue of a man. Tough to see, but just take my word.

above: these two super cool dogs were waiting outside of a coffee shop for their dad. I love dogs...
Friday I'm in Seattle and hope to have a few photos for you to share. Stop by again as Rick's Roadshow continues...

  4. The sunshine is definitely gentler there than it is in the desert. I don't have to wear sunglasses to look at these pics!

  5. I love the PacNW. Gorgeous scenery. I used to live there (in a previous life 20+ years ago!), and there are times I miss it. Simply stunning. Can't wait to see your Seattle photos!
