The days spent in town here have been really great. Was able to finally go check out Smith and Bybee Lakes, thank you Matt, and saw many a cool creature as well as practiced my tactical sliding on muddy banks. And a look at a pretty awesome research lab on crabs! I went on a bike ride out around south Portland about 17 miles with Lucy on Thursday. Ate and stared in awe at Bob's Red Mill. (Yumm, and oh my what amazing amount of product there is...) Then today, friend Kirsten invited me to walk with her border collie and his friends along Washougal River followed by a great quiche for lunch with Richard as additional company. The two of them host amazing conversations and encouragement that I most thoroughly enjoyed. With Kirsten as my willing friendly coach, I will now have weekly assignments in photography to be shared with her. :) She is pushing me effectively into making some moves that will help get my career track in line. Love it.
Now some photos from the last farm and my activities.....
