MORE BEND, OREGON - DOWNTOWN DAILY FRONT PORCH

(Photos taken May 1, 2015)


Being in Bend was wonderful.  Bend's downtown district is probably three main streets and the more modern part of Bend is like most cities - Walmarts, Targets, etc...all spread out but downtown Bend is where I like to walk.  There are several choices for coffee, art galleries the main one being Red Chair Gallery and downtown Bend sits a few blocks back from Mirror Pond, part of Deshutes river.

Here are a few shots of downtown and the part of Mirror Pond that isn't near as pretty as on the other side of the bridge which I've show pics of before.  (The houses reflected in the water is why it's called Mirror Pond)   I'll probably post them again just because I love the houses so much.  Anyway - here is a part of Mirror Pond area I haven't shown before.



I love the colors on the main street in Bend.







These houses sit back and not reflected in Mirror Pond - in front of them is a park and then part of the river.







This house below  sits across the street from the pond and the houses above  and is closer to town.  I like the front porch and could easily sit there in the morning looking over at the river while having my coffee.

Colorful downtown...

Seems better, to have the houses separated from the water's edge, by the strip of park. No one has to worry about a toddler 'escaping' and falling in the water.
