We head down to Waterfront Park in the town of Hood River quite often during the summer for a quick dip in the Columbia River. Then the kids dry off on the play equipment or climbing wall before heading home. This is one of the pieces of play equipment at the park, I guess a new version of the merry-go-rounds so popular on playgrounds when I grew up. I don't know the kids playing on it here, but they were so very determined to master the strange shape and motion.
I'm always on the lookout for a great rainbow to photograph. With the extremely icy, rainy and snowy weather we've had lately, this rainbow was an especially welcome sight. Of course, if it really signified the end of the rain, it would be even better, but we'll take what we can get. This is Waterfront Park's rock wall in Hood River, Oregon and you can just see the Columbia River in the background.
