Cedar Mill Falls

Boardwalk leading to Cedar Mill Falls

This is another nature walk that I have never known before, Viva Village (independent retirement community) really shows me where to go and look. This falls is again within the city limit of Beaverton and Portland. I have to come back here again after a real downpour, to see a bigger falls.

Portland View from OHSU

Portland skyline from OHSU

I came in earlier in the week, but it was in the morning when I had to deal with the back lighting. This time, I came back in the afternoon when the lighting is much milder, but it was missing Mount St. Helen and Mt. Hood. You can't win them all, I guess.

Creekside building IV

The view from Creekside IV

This is just a few block from Fanno Farmhouse, it is a different world around here, the fact it is still within the city limit, I saw a glimpse in the morning, then I had to go back in the afternoon and take a few shots. Here it is...

Fanno Farmhouse

Original Fanno Farmhouse built in 1859

I drove by myself this morning to check out the Fanno Farmhouse, it was a beautiful morning indeed, but I have to take a detour on the trail, thanks to the beavers.

Hood Strawberries....

Picking your own strawberries

The ominous clouds do not scare us to pick the Hood strawberry at Baggenstos Strawberry Farm. We managed to get about seven pounds at $1.70 per pound.

Moshofsky Woods @ Willow Creek

Wildflowers I found along the trail

This is the second half of the trail, running from NW 158th all the way to NW 173rd Avenue. During my walk, I saw the biggest slug in my life and I saw a garden snake. The names of the trails is confusing to say the least, but enjoy the scenery anyway.

Willow Creek Nature Park

This trail is good for jogging as long as it is not wet

Thank you to Steve Davis who took me here and drove me back home. This boardwalk is amazing, you think this is out of town, the fact it is right smack in the middle of Beaverton and within the city limit boundary.
