Looking at Oregon City
Dr. McLoughlin Statue

The man who helped make Oregon City what it is today--and ensured Oregon statehood. More details here: www.nps.gov/people/johnmcloughlin.htm
Long Shadows

The sun at our backs gave me a chance to take this, as the trail stretches on below us.
Stagnant Water 2
| |
|
|
More standing water. Even for natural water, it looked pretty bad. I wonder if any of the deer etc. that supposedly haunt the park (I didn't see any signs, honestly) ever try to drink it?
The Path Home
| |
|
The only downside to this park is you *have* to do back the way you came. I prefer loops. But it did allow me this neat look at where we'd been and where we were going.
Looking up the Bike Trail
| |
|
The park has an unusual facet, bike-only trails. This one didn't get any use, but others did. Neat concept, even if I felt like I wanted to cheat and see what the bikers got to see and I didn't! (Note: I can't manage an off-road bike.) I loved how the late-afternoon sun was cutting through here.
Fern Floor 1

|
A lot of the forest floor was covered in ferns, prompting many a bad pun from me as we walked alongside them on the trail.

Decay in Real Time
| |
|
A lot of the canyon is in transition like this tree stump that's starting the first stages of decay.
Sunlight Moss

Really happy with how this came out. Hitting the trail in late afternoon meant the sun kept peeking out, and I thought how it hit this mossy dying tree looked cool. Not bad for taking this without looking directly at the lens (for obvious reasons!).
Natural Fortress
Stagnant Water

About 2/3 of the way into the bottom of the canyon is a pond that only a frog could love. "What do think this holds?" Erica asked.
"Mosquitos."
"Let's move on, then."
Balloon Buffoon

Context is lost to time but I think I recognize younger me, with lots more hair and lots less grey...
Irish Festival Selfie 09-2022

|
Enjoying myself at the Pittsburgh Irish Festival 2022, as part of the return to Pittsburgh tour. My last day in town before coming home to Portland.
Interstate Bridge (PDX View) Fall 2021
| |
|
|
|
The in need of repairs/replacement Interstate Bridge, crossing the Columbia River and linking Portland to Vancouver and places north. Nice timing of the person boating, which was pure chance. Testing desktop uploads for a potential return to the site.
Jack Frost, Test Case

Testing uploading here again from my phone which is my primary camera these days (does as good if not better than any digital camera I'd buy and no bulky carrying). This is our newest addition and he's photogenic as all hell.
