During a January cold snap in Central Oregon, it was interesting to watch frozen clumps of ice accumulate in the Deschutes River and flow downstream past the Old Mill District. Thankfully Bend's weather is now moderating and we hope the ice will soon disappear from the river.
Early morning near Bend's Old Mill District. Between the snow still on the ground and the additional ice that has accumulated along the banks of the river, this is a very wintry scene!
Just after sunrise on the Deschutes River, looking toward the Old Mill District, I loved the reflections of the clouds in the river. A calm winter morning with just a bit of snow left in the shadows…perfect for a morning walk along the river!
