Cee’s Which Way Challenge – Kelley Point Park, Portland, OR
On May 13, 2017 Mercy and Will took my husband and I to Kelley Point Park in Portland, Oregon. The park is full of sky reaching trees and green bushes. It was right after the rain. The ground was still wet. We could smell the fresh green in the air. The park was along two rivers – Willamette River and Columbia River.
During Lewis and Clark expedition, they ascended Columbia River in 1805, and descended in 1806, but missed the mouth of Willamette River. The Native Americans had been in this areas around 1850. Since 1900, Willamette River became a significant river. Rich with sediments, deposited by flooding and rainfall on the western side of the Cascades, the Willamette Valley is one of the most fertile agricultural regions in North America,
The middle group of trees in the last photo is the point where Willamette River meets Columbia River.

Same here! One day, my daughter took some great color contrast clouds photos and texted them to me and commented: “Took these with you in mind.” They know I could stop in the middle of the road to take photos of greens, hills, sky, water….
