George and I were supposed to go kayaking near our home today. Unfortunately the Willamette has had a 'toxic algae bloom' as you can see by the bright green color near the shoreline The health department is quite clear in their advisory to avoid all contact with the water.
Lucky for us just past Portland in a little town called Scappoose the water was clean and safe so we did get to enjoy, what might be one of the last days of summer, kayaking on the Willamette River.
We saw geese and cormorants and just as we headed back to the marina an osprey did a successful fishing nose dive into the water and came up with his dinner!
