I joined a local Portland Meetup for a hike in Forest Park,
a pretty amazing location not far from where we live now. I’ve seen photos from here and I can’t wait to do more hiking and make some more images of my own! According to
the link: “Forest Park has over 5,100 wooded acres making it the
largest,
forested natural area within city limits in the United States.”
The “hook” that got me to go this morning was a chance to see wild tiger
lillies again, which were at peak bloom on a fire road in the park. The first time I saw tiger
lillies was a few months after moving to the Northwest. But we traveled 80+ miles to see them. Plus, it was a great day for a hike: the
sun was shining and it was warm. The makings of a very nice summer day.
