Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

This lesser-known park in Portland is a gem that might not be named after me, but I won’t tell anyone if you don’t.

Things I missed

Things have been happening and I have not been updating you.

Pedro’s workshop is going up very fast. It is exciting to walk out there each night and ascertain the progress.

A few parting shots from a pretty great birthday weekend in Tillamook, Oregon.

We had a lovely yurt in lovely weather at a lovely location for Pedro’s birthday.

Our love story was published in The Oregonian for Valentine’s Day.

Cooper Mountain Nature Park was an excellent surprise on a warm and dry Saturday afternoon.

Winter snow and ice are dangerous and beautiful.

Park managers today are doing a good job of telling a more accurate story.

The Giant Pumpkin Regatta began in Tualatin in 2004 and from what you will see in the photos, has become a very big deal.
