Neighborhood Flowers Two

 A continuation of neighborhood flowers...just spending a Sunday morning wandering around Oregon City, Oregon photographing any plant, flower that's cool.

One of the most amazing photos I took is of a hydroponic flower garden display.  It's located on a huge outside wall, part of a once hydroponic shop, that use to teach the craft but, apparently no longer does.

Neighborhood Flowers

It's fun to travel through various neighborhoods were I live in Oregon City, Oregon and photograph the flowers. There is a lot going on this time of the year flora-wise but, it won't be long before everything dies out.

The photos that are taken here vary from flower gardens to hanging baskets, to giant potted arrangements.  The whole idea is for you to enjoy them!

Flowers In The Garden

Hyacinth

Gee, the sun is shining in Oregon and things are starting to flower in our gardens...there are buds on the dogwoods.  Things are starting to happen outside other than just the rain.

Can't help myself...it was time to take the camera outside and get a few shots.

Foothills Park Lake Oswego

Foothills Park Lake Oswego

Foothills Park is one of the most pristine city parks you will ever visit, period, and is located in Lake Oswego, Oregon.  It borders the Willamette River and is just south of Portland.

It is a small park, but it's location, view, or whatever, is probably every greedy land/ housing developers' dream to have since the dawn of time!  If  you are thinking of moving from California to Oregon, keep this thought...the minute you cross the border, the sun only shines once a year... and that is at night while you are asleep.

Whoever in Lake Oswego (Had to be a cool City Planning Commission Person) years ago, had the foresight to purchase and hold this property, plan for a cool park someday, had to have "Oregon Folks" on their mind.

That's what I love about Oregon! Ooh, all photos here were taken at 2:30 AM!

First, some grasses in the Park:

So, if you get bored walking around the park (Which I doubt!) there is a cool walkway along the river to the south. And, some "Hellebore" just as you enter the walkway. Hey! It's winter in Oregon.
