OFF TO THE WILDflowers

And so it begins, as it does every spring, at Catherine Creek, WA., a 75 minute drive from Portland (for you, 90) and the best place to watch the wildflowers unfold. It's grass widow time; the sisyrinchium are about 60% in bloom. I'd like to take you deeper in the details but 'm determined to get to sleep soon so let me leave you with a classic moment of lichen, moss and sweet, clean air from Catherine Creek.
