“All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Now that I have time, daily walks along the Willamette river path in Portland Oregon during my first year of semi-retirement allowed me to take advantage of breathtaking views of Mt. Hood and the changing landscapes of foliage and fowl. Take a stroll with me by viewing the pics below:
Walking with my sister + granddaughter on a crisp fall day 
Snow capped Mt. Hood stands majestic 
High tides across the river path push spring goslings to shore 
Portland, the city of roses! 
Spring foilage 
My friend, Sharon Juen, passed away . She was a bird lover and flew by to say “good-bye” 
Sail Ahoy 
Vintage Porsche in front of a boat house 
Bald Eagles above 
Cooling down on a hot summer afternoon 
A brass “beaver” sculpture gets a Halloween costume. 
I press the River Otters nose under the Sellwood bridge to acknowledge 10k steps, yeah! 
Mt. St. Helens view 
Dog Socialization along the river 
View from my living room! 
Birds migrating here for the winter
