I found a trail that lets you walk right up to the shore of the Columbia River (it wasn’t all that hidden, admittedly, I just hadn’t taken that trail before). It was lovely.

Sorry for the unexpected hiatus – work intervened rather significantly in the last week. But I was still walking and I saw something I had not yet seen before! I suspect for a large number of people seeing a snake crossing the path wouldn’t be something that makes them happy, but it was for me. I like snakes. He moved into the shade under a basalt boulder as the day was quite warm. He’s about 3 feet long.

Along the rivers and canals are lots of wild rosebushes. They are just starting to bloom, and they cheered up my morning recently.

I have switched up my morning walk before work. I was walking south down the Columbia River. Now I walk north most days. This is the view I have now. Honestly, I don’t know why more people don’t do this, but I really like that I have the whole thing to myself most of the time.

Usually the bunnies dash into the brier patch but this guy seemed to think if he stayed very very still that I wouldn’t see him.

A rare photo with me in it – I was trying to capture the perfect circular wakes of this duck couple but they weren’t cooperating.
