Westmoreland Park, Late Autumn
My camera in hand, I took a walk on a rainy late autumn day down to Westmoreland Park in southeast Portland. How I love a cool, foggy, drizzly day! The park was filled as usual with ducks and flowers and moss and a million other types of greenery.

16+ acres of lush forest and flowering plants from around the Northwest, and you will get a very different experience depending on what time of year you visit.
Sunset at Rocky Butte
In northeast Portland, there is a nice viewpoint at Rocky Butte Natural Area. The park covers the remains of an extinct volcano and gives you — on clear days — a nice view of several more volcanoes, both extinct (e.g., Mount Tabor, Pilot Butte, etc.) and active (e.g., Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens).
