River Trail Loop - An Autumn Sunday in Bend

My favorite walk in town...
 
It begins so urban...
 
but quickly goes wild...

 
this time of year is awesome here!

 
So pretty and today it was warm too...

 
& it wasn't too crowded for a Sunday...

 
the Deschutes River is our River


 
moi~

coming back the other side was sunnier and hotter

 
but still cute.

 
A map
 
 
back to civilization

 
and last but not least, some  interesting art made from found objects
 
Another great weekend in Bend, Oregon.

July 6, 2012 First Friday Art Walk, Bend, OR


The first Friday of every month, the town hosts the "First Friday Art Walk" or in other words, shops stay open late hosting local artists & their wares. The competition is stiff to get our attention, so they lure us with live music and treats...

Parked 1/2 block from here, walking into it......


First hot summer evening and it's crowded......


Outdoor dining on First Friday is a good experience...


Slick Side Down was playing at Local Joe's. That's how I remembered to come down here, got an invite on fb 

looked too cramped in there, kept walking and within half a block found these guys jammin the blues


with one drunk lady dancing lol







further down the street... a mellower band playeth


to a mellower audience lol




did not know we had a trolly!~


This guy was jammin!!



his dog.. not so much


tempting....


i finally succumb at the locally distilled vodka booth


;-)


i wasn't alone...


 Does that look phallic to anyone else?



no, but thank you :)


*does a double take*


yes, she is wearing a beer can dress. My thought? We ARE the Beer Capital!


more enviable outdoor dining (note the martinis & beers)...


 one of many, many bikes i encountered...


look again..


topped off with the best sound of the evening.... "more! more!" the crowd yelled after each song


& they obliged


glad i was brave enough to go out by myself. =)

If you missed it, don't worry, it's year round. Just go next month!
