2012, Day 36 - Falling

While so many people spent this beautiful sunny day watching football on television I took advantage of the distraction.  First thing this morning I grabbed Brian Matiash and assisted his Garmin is getting us to Silver Falls.  We trekked slowly to Upper North Falls stopping numerous times to capture the beauty of the park and when we finally decided to make our way to Lower North Falls our plans were thwarted by a closed trail.

Not to be deterred we left to return to Portland and made a few stops on the way back to capture the rolling hills of rural Oregon.  That was this morning, I then spent the afternoon working on getting caught up on processing images from the last week.  My backlog seems to be growing but it is a wonderful problem to have, too much choice.

While I was trying to get caught up Brian met with Karen Hutton and when they finished with their adventures we all met up for coffee.  For those who have had the pleasure of Karen's company she is a delightful and affable person.  Our conversation lasted until long after our cups were empty.  It was a very pleasant way to end a warn sunny weekend.  Thanks guys!
