Pictures Bill W. took of a fun weekend in Shady Cove, site of the Rogue Valley Biennial Walk! Photo Credits: Bill W. Blue Heron, Tanner Springs Park, by Leslie W. Thanks to all walkers that came out expecting a projected rainy weather but in fact walked under clear blue and sunny skies, though a bit windy! There were lots of Public Arts (11) and Parks (8), both big and small, some old and weathered and others yet to be opened. AVA Walk challenges included Bakeries (5), Diners (2), Murals (8), and WPA (2) (Works Projects Administration). WalkOregon challenges included antique shops, banks, bicycle shops, bed & breakfasts, firehouses, landmarks, and water towers. Today's walk event touched Forest Park, meandered through Legacy's Stenzel Healing Garden and along the Willamette River. And in between were many opportunities to shop, eat, drink, and shop some more in NW Portland and the Pearl District. And Leslie W captured a rare photo of a very shy Great Blue Heron, Portland's official bird since 1986, wading in Tanner Springs Park. More at Audubon Society of Portland. More here. Read about the nearly 1100 pound Bald Eagle's Nest, owned by the Federal Government and on loan to the Jackson Bottom Wetlands. The walk was held on a cold, breezy, rainy and overcast day. See more at the Sherwoodmerrywalkers blog of 6/18 and their photos. Gratis & enjoyed by some 30 walkers under both sun & rain. Thanks to both Dick B and Joe & Karen K for setting the pace!
