Jenkins Estate

Jenkins Estate
The sun is out, so am I. This is literally in our "backyard", we came here for chocolate festival years ago, but at night time, so I did not see anything. The only thing I remember was the chocolate and it was cold and wet. Enjoy my short walk, I should come back in a month when the flowers are in full bloom.

Happy Spring 2016

Spring 2016
I had to wait a few days to take these pictures; yesterday it rained continuously for more than twenty-four hours straight, I was restless. I was just afraid if the rain and wind brought down the flowers before I had my chance to click the camera shutter, so this morning I had a little window, no rain and the sun was in and out. I had to go! Here's the result.

Tualatin Hills Nature Park

Tualatin Hills Nature Park
The afternoon was warm and sunny, so we decided to go for a walk and a simple exercise for me. This park is barely four miles from our house; we are indeed very lucky to be surrounded by so many nature parks. This is a second time we have been to this park; in 2011 we took a different trail to go northerly direction, this time the trail is westerly direction – The Vine Maple Trail.

Enjoy our walk. It is indeed a beautiful afternoon.
