Pictures from Portland
Folio 3 -- Patterns in Portland

by Roger Bourke White Jr., July 2005

	Patterns in Portland Lush vegetation always produces interesting patterns. These are horsetails, a weed in the Portland area.
	English ivy also grows profusely here.
	A bush, I'm not sure what kind.
	A lush tree, not sure what kind.
	I stayed with Maria Stout (on the right) while I was in Portland. She was a wonderful host, and had a good photographic eye. She alerted me to the sunset potential that produced the Mount Saint Helens shot at the beginning of this series.
	This is where I stayed in Portland.

	Not in Portland, but lush and peaceful none-the-less. This is in Poudre River Park in Greeley, CO.
	On the slopes of Mount Hood, an hour's drive east of Portland. Mount Hood is 11,000 feet -- high enough that the top is covered with glaciers (ice all year round). This is a shot near the tree line, looking into a valley below.
	Also found near the treeline are these wild flowers. Not far from here is Timberline Ski Resort, which is open for skiing all year round.
	This is an hour's drive north of Mount Hood, the Columbia River Gorge. Here the Columbia River has carved through thick lava beds. What you are looking at i the Washington state side of the gorge. I'm shooting from the Oregon state side.
