Riverside Afternoon

After spending a day in the hospital this week, I was ready for some "outside time".  Hubby and walked down to the Willamette River at Elk Island park and set up our portable chairs.  We sat under a tree, some type of willow, and enjoyed the breeze and the sunshine.  The river level was as low as I have ever seen it, with Elk Island not being an island anymore! We stayed about two hours just soaking in the outdoors on a beautiful day!  Here's a photo recap:




Elk "Island"

Some flowers were still in bloom  . . . . even tho' fall was only three days away!




The water was so calming . . . what a beautiful day!

  6. All it takes is a spell outside to clear out the cobwebs. I do hope your hospital stay wasn't too serious.
