corner view 'hot' (or cooling down)

As the temperature heats up, there is no better way to cool down in the city than at Jamison Square in Portland. Waterfalls that cascade over the stone steps, create a pool deep enough to wade and wallow in, and then the pool drains away, before starting over again.  This afternoon was our first of many afternoons spent splashing around.





Summertime fun!

  1. Water is always fun on a hot day!
    Unfortunate the summer has not been so hot in the Netherlands yet.....

    -I was just looking up the map were Portland is and I got confused for a moment, because on the other side it says Vancouver, and I was thinking: huh that is in Canada....but there is a Vancouver nearby Portland too!!-
