out and about :: laurelhurst park

{life here day 8}

hi there

you've been asking to see more of my new surroundings ::

Laurelhurst Park :: 27 acres of natural beauty inside the city, with winding roads, pond,  and play areas, just about 1 mile from our house.

 

i took a walk just before sunset yesterday.  the park is a riot of color (the leaves change a bit later & stay awhile longer than back east)

 

the park has a totally different feel this time of year, gone are the concerts and activities, left is an urban oasis

dusk settled to quickly :: the feeling of quiet beauty is one i would have liked to enjoy a bit longer

for more info on Laurelhurst Park

today is beautiful here :: hoping it is there as well

many of you know by now...we're off on a visit to my son & daughter-in-law in portland oregon.

we'll just skip the part about the 8 hour plane ride...it's enough to say it was long.

we even ran into a pretty amazing crane

lunch followed at the Everett Street Bistro...and it was soooo good, i forgot to take a photo for you.
if your in portland oregon, you should add this one to your places to eat.
