Nicpic

Sunday Sept 24

From Portland Oregon our current location having left the coast passing through Albany and taking a WEB (well earned break) over the weekend in the state capital. Oregon has had serious fires this summer and so visits to Columbia River Gorge and the snow covered Mt Hood are not accessible. So it is the rose garden and Washington park for us today.

We have come across many beautiful scenes during our trip and you can only nick a pic here and there in order to tell the story. Like on day 1 we actually saw a hummingbird right in front of us taking nectar from a bush as we parked the car; then there are the Aussie Eucalypts in many corners of California together with the occasional bursts of bottlebrush (Kings Park special) and finally some better shots of the spectacular Oregon coast
