Oak Island

May 4, 2011

A spring afternoon on Oak Island, adjacent to (perhaps part of) Sauvie Island, north of Portland. Something about the trees and the hedges and the grass stretching out towards the still river, the west hills on the horizon, brought me home to Sussex.

Spring in pink

March 8, 2010

Spring has arrived a little early this year… a mild and (by Portland standards) dry winter has lulled the plant life into a false sense of security…
