Creative Crosswalk In Portland

DON'T YOU want to grab this umbrella and fly? I love the whimsy of this crosswalk in Portland created just this year and photographed by my daughter during her recent visit there. Portland, (similarly to my neck-of-the-woods near Vancouver in BC), is known for rain. There has been a dry spell, however, so this post is in honour of the much needed showers that finally fell in Surrey today.

CHASE AWAY a gloomy day with Penelope Puddle and a small black umbrella that sparks her imagination. To Penelope the umbrella is a magic wand that is adaptable and can transport her anywhere. From flying, skiing and sailing to basking in the sun, Penelope gets creative amid lush rural lanes, breezy ocean beaches and snowy mountain peaks that suspend over rainforests and cityscapes. Her make-believe antics merge with scenes that reflect the true magic and diversity of her West Coast playground in British Columbia, Canada.
