We walked a bit on the streets in Milwaukie
I have no pictures of that

Then we came to Elk Island in the Willamette

Here is what Elk Island looks like as one approches it

The views of the river from Elk Island are nice

Hiking on the island was pretty easy

Here is Frank who I was hiking with

Queen Anne's Lace
Also called:
wild carrot, bird's nest, and bishop's lace

Scientific Name: Daucus carota

Queen Anne's Lace was introduced from Europe, and the carrots that we eat today originated from this plant.

The flowers are tiny and white, blooming in lacy, flat-topped clusters. Each little flower has a dark, purplish center.

People can eat the large taproot, which is a carrot. The leaves of the plant are toxic, and may irritate the skin.

After the flowers mature, they curl inward to build a "birds' nest" shape.
