It looks like it could be one of the 'Loderi' group of Rhododendrons. I have Rhododendron 'Loderi King George' in my garden and it has been magnificent for the past couple of weeks.

Thanks!
I think you may be correct. I read that they are plentiful in Oregon, where Digirame lives, especially at OSU.

Thanks Tom and David,
We have many rhododendrons in Oregon. I'm not that familiar with the types, but I understand that there are several species that are naturally occurring in our state, possibly as many as five.

Subject: Two Lonely Benches
Yesterday I found two lonely benches near some flowers. This was taken at Washington Park, in Portland, Oregon. Thank goodness for these benches. They are a welcome treat for weary walkers. 😀

Subject: Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge Bench
Here's another lonely bench I found yesterday at the end of the trail at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. These benches are quite nice to use after a long hike with all of my gear. That gear was especially heavy because I carried my long telephoto lens with me. Unfortunately for that lens there was not a lot of wildlife other than some geese and a few small elusive birds. But it was a nice day for a hike. 😀

I like that - with man and dog in the background walking away, it gives a melancholy effect to the bench.

Here's a lonely bench I found at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon last month. I don't think I've ever seen one like this, that was so heavily painted.

Subject: Two Lonely Chairs
Here's something I found also at Pacific University. Instead of a bench, there were these two lonely chairs.
Could we consider this a bench substitute? 😀
