Springtime in Forest Park

We took a long walk in Portland's Forest Park, the largest urban park in the USA. Here are a few scenes of winter downfalls and new growth. More tomorrow.

Teddy Roosevelt Statue Base

There used to be an impressive equestrian statue of Theodore Roosevelt mounted on a stone base in Portland's South Park Blocks across from the Portland Art Museum. The statue was vandalized and torn down during the recent BLM riots, and the base was decorated with pertinent messages. Here's the result, from all four sides.

Slabtown Flowers

"Slabtown" sounds ominous and morbid, but it's actually a former industrial but gentrifying neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. It's looking good with all the spring flowers coming out.
