It is always wonderful to get a sunny day in Western Oregon in the wintertime. Especially is this true along the Beautiful Willamette River, described by one of our Governors as "the thread in the tapestry of the Willamette Valley." This is a view of the Willamette River from Clearwater Park in Springfield.
