One of the places I go to play ball is near the Willamette River. The nice thing is that we can walk the beach–this is my version of ‘walking’ 
That was last summer…today was a bit different! Winter snow melt is full on and the river is running high. Not that it mattered to me, although Mom said I couldn’t go any further than those ducks (Hmmm, Oregon Ducks?)
You can see the steps to the beach…which is under several feet of water.
Except for a bit of cooling off, I decided ball playing should be done up in the dog park.
Probably a wise move, considering Mom was a bit against trying to walk the beach.
