Historic Dolphins on the Willamette River
The Oregon Portland Cement Company operated for 70 years

in Lake Oswego's Foothills area that now has condominiums,

apartments and Foothills Park. The plant went into operation

in 1916. What you see here are the last remnants of the

business. The dolphins were used to tie up the ships that

would come up the river to load cement .

Canada Geese

It looks to me as if he's keeping

a vigilant eye out while she eats.

Looking Down on Sucker Creek

In 1847, Albert Alonzo Durham built a sawmill on Sucker Creek,

Oswego Lake's outlet to the Willamette River.

In 1850, Albert made the first Donation Land Claim

in the area, which he named Oswego after Oswego, New York.

I am standing on the foot bridge that passes over the

creek . The foot bridge leads to trails that go up the creek

and also to the nearby city of West Linn.

Looking south up the Willamette River

It was a balmy 59 degrees when I took this photo yesterday.
