Blog Your Blessings Sunday


If you care to join us acknowledging our blessings go here: Blue Panther

My blessing this week was an opportunity to walk over the I-205 bridge (with blue skies as an added blessing) from Vancouver, WA to Portland,OR. I have lived here 22 years and only this week, found the walkway to get to that bridge. It isn't easy when walking, but hidden. You will learn more about this bridge the first Monday of March on my "Bridges Between" post.

Looking back to Vancouver from the pedestrian/bicycle walkway on the bridge. See that white spot in the background? Well, look to the left at the other"white"spot and see Mt.St Helens, also covered in snow. I forgot to look back and take a photo when I was closer to Vancouver than Portland as I walked over the I-205 bridge. CLICK on to see Mt. St Helens. Next time I walk the bridge, I will remember to look towards Vancouver too. Taking the bus home, there was a big beautiful view of Mt.St.Helens. It is important to remember to look back from where you came when taking photos too!
Looking towards Portland, one can see the airport tower from Portland Internatinal Airport. It is between the tree on the left and the rest of the foreground trees that are in Vancouver.

More Mount Hood






I went for a short walk today down by the I-5 bridge on the Columbia River this time. I also walked the LAND bridge over Hiway 14 and then home again. It was another beautiful day with blue skies and whisps of clouds and many contrails in that blue sky. I had several places to take a photo of Mt. Hood, across the Columbia River in Oregon. These are a variety of my photos of the mountain today: CLICK on to enlarge. I took these in various places along my walk. It is surprising to see how many places you can view Mt. Hood from in Vancouver.

About Me

My photo
WELCOME to my blog. I hope you will return often.

I am on my third digital camera, all Olympus. I enjoy using it and sharing my photos. I also enjoy writing. I hope to share a little of each on this blog. My main blog is Postcards From the Northwest.

Kerri and I will continue to add benches to "For the Love of Benches Continued . . . " blog also. It is good to continue to share with her!

Continuation of the Kiggins House Re-model photos were lost when my computer crashed.

The latest city project, TURTLE PLACE, will unfold here as I have time to add photos. It is complete and maybe I can find enough photos someday to show you the final results. Next project after the two I am working on now. . .
