The river is alive and bustling. Here is the Portland sternwheel steamboat passing by. This was taken from our balcony. The Portland was built in 1947 for the Port of Portland. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and currently hosts the Oregon Maritime Museum which owns it. The steamboat is moored at the Willamette River seawall next to Tom McCall Waterfront Park in downtown Portland. There’s not much sound, but have your volume up so you can hear the lovely sound of the boat in the river.

Beautiful. How often do you see it?
This is the first time we’ve seen the boat this year.
That is so cool. Looks like really nice weather.
We are having gorgeous weather right now. You know what it’s like to be near the water when you have sunny skies!
You brought a smile to my face, Franki! What a lovely spot you have found in Portland. I don’t have a steam boat passing by my window but I did have two baby fawns with spots the other day! We sure miss you here in the Bay Area!
So nice to hear from you. Your baby fawns would bring me a smile as well.
