Did you start to think we got lost on our way to
Portland, OR
We have been here a week already.
Where the heck did the time go.
I put a lots of textures on this photo. I was just playing and didn't keep track of which ones.
We have been busy, busy since we got here
mostly just spending time with family.
We are staying in a little town called Troutdale,
It's about a 20 min. drive from Portland, and the Park that we're
staying at sits right on the Sandy River. It's a beautiful place to take walks
and ride our bikes. And I feel so bad because I have taken almost no
photos. Just enjoying Life my friends.
We have had rain off and on since we arrived.
And I am really enjoying it. We are still able to get out and about most days.
And what a perfect time of year to be here, All the trees are changing colors.
I did manage to barely catch a photo of a truck load of pumpkins
crossing the bridge right by where we are parked.
I was hoping one of them would fall off.
No such luck.
My SIL races bike and we spent the afternoon out at a Dariy farm
where he was racing. It was a perfect day to watch a race.
A little bit smelly though... It is a Dairy farm..
I do hope it won't be a whole week before I post again.
But I'm not making any promises..
Hope everyone is doing well.
Hugs~

Awwwwwwwwww there's the precious one!! I have been waiting for him!!!!!!
I went across that bridge in July! Great pictures and lovely family!!! Hugs!
Awesome pics. Love your gloves. It's starting to cool down here -- it was 49 last night but is warming back up to the 80s during the day, but there is a change in the air with less humidity.
Oh isn't it wonderful to be able to enjoy Fall in a place that actually has a Fall...and with your cutie grandson even better. Wonderful fall shots and the one of the family is a winner!! Enjoy your stay!! Hugs!
Super pretty photo Linda, I Adore that red leaves so very much, and nice picture of the happy family!
Gorgeous fall photo's Linda, love that boy as well! I am sure you won't want to leave him any time soon! Have a happy Wednesday!
Gorgeous photos, especially the pumpkin truck - amongst the green bridge - brilliant. Sounds like you are fully enjoying life right now.
Hi Linda! I knew you've been having a wonderful time! Love your photos here and how cool to get a shot of that truck with the pumpkins, and even better with the patina bridge!
What a fabulously colourful post-love those Fall colours all around you :)
The photograph of the Pumpkin's splash of colour against the old bridge is stunning-(sorry one didn't roll away for you!)
Have a lovely day,Nessa xx

Awww, no worries, Linda! I'm so thrilled for you that you are busy visiting with your family. It doesn't get any better than that! And love the photos you shared. That one of the pumpkin load totally warms my heart for some reason. I am such a fan of the fall, I guess. :)Enjoy every single minute, my friend!
Yay for Portland! It is a beautiful time there, though a little rainy. You've got some amazing photos. Enjoy your time in this beautiful part of the country.
How wonderful, Linda! I love your photos, too! Enjoy your stay and have a great time :-)
It's always such a joy to see your photos. I love the one with the pumpkins on the truck! You always manage to get the lighting just right in your photos - I'm so jealous! ;)
A fabulous time of the year to visit Portland! That truck was taking more than its share of the road - but it sure made a great photo! Have fun with family! What a good-looking group of bikers!
Beautiful photos! I love those vibrant maple leaves. It sounds like you're enjoying your stay :)
Gorgeous photos, full of joy. Thanks for sharing.
Those leaves are so pretty Linda! What a beautiful place you are staying. And look at your little family. Oh that grandbaby is growing - what a cutie!

Beautiful photos!
So glad you made it! Wonderful pics - darling one of your family!
Glad to hear you are enjoying all that family time my friend!! What a treat to spend time with them AND enjoy such beauty too :) As always your pics are amazing, I love love the bridge one with the pumpkin truck, such cool dimension :)
LOVE the photo at the bike race and I am so GLAD you got the shot of the pumpkin truck! I have never seen that before! Have FUN and take lots of photos!
Oregon is such a beautiful state. Awesome images! Have fun!
So happy you made it to OR. Such a beautiful place. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time with your family. - The shot of the pumpkins on the truck was fun. Such pretty foliage too. - I do hope you take in some of the scenic sights around the area.
That little man is so handsome. :-) So glad you made it safe and sound and that you're enjoying the camp site you've chosen. Those leaves are so beautiful. Spring has all those burst of colors with the flowers, but fall doesn't put on a shabby show itself now does it. :-)
So glad you're enjoying your time in Oregon, Linda! I visited there when I was about nine years old, and I remember it so well. It was beautiful! Someday, I really would love to take my kiddos.
