Welcome
to Our World!! This is a great meme that lets us share the good, the bad, the
beautiful – well, you get it, we get to share our worlds that include all of
the above!! Having grown up in a very
small town in west Texas, I moved to Oregon a number of years ago just so I could
see trees everywhere I looked and I’ve never been disappointed!! And I never
pass up an opportunity to go to any one of the many beautiful parks in and
around Portland. But today we will just walk some of the streets – streets that
look like part of a park to me!!

Nature
is beneficent. I praise her and all her works. She is silent and wise. She is
cunning, but for good ends. She has brought me here and will also lead me away.
She may scold me, but she will not hate her work. I trust her.

To
me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most
luxurious Persian rug.

with your hair.

endure as long as life lasts.

Those streets are like parks. They are beautiful. I love the shadowing.
Tree lined streets are the best Sylvia, what a lovely walk.
Beautiful....and I liked Helen Keller's quote you used....so true, so true.

Hi Sylvia, Interesting to hear that you grew up in Texas and moved to the Pacific Northwest. Seems like I read about lots of folks doing that but sure don't hear about many going the opposite direction. :-) I do like Portland a lot. I think Seattle is moving, slowly, in the same direction regarding car traffic in downtown ... more lanes are getting converted to bicycle paths. You've got some nice pictures of the park there and good quotes to go with. I am curious why My World Tuesday starts on Mondays. Have a good day!
Hello Sylvia, you do live in a beautiful area. I love all the trees and greenery. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous part of the world. Happy Monday, have a great week ahead!
nothing better than tree-lined streets and walkways. :)
Ah, such a wonderful place and such beautiful photographs. I was thinking we need Rachel Carson back again to help us preserve the earth in the face of all those destroying it with their greed!
Gorgeous tree lined streets Sylvia. Have a good week.

I bet everybody wants to move to Portland after seeing your beautiful pictures -- it really is a beautiful place.
I like these beautiful trees, a wonderful place, beautiful pictures!
Trees and going to the woods can calm nerves.
That does indeed look like a park, Sylvia. Sometimes I wish we had more trees around here, but it's too dry. Have a great week!
Edenic!!
I could walk in there all day and just enjoy myself under the shades of those beautiful trees. Hope you are enjoying your week. :)
Really a lovely walk, Sylvia, all delightful images!
A delightful time of the year to enjoy the trees.
If these are the streets, the the parks must be magnificent indeed!
wonderful post. Thanks for sharing :)
