I decided it was long past time to dust off the camera and get outside this morning to take some pictures. Since quarantine started in March with the coronavirus pandemic, I haven’t really taken any pictures other that some family shots. I was feeling it!
I got up around sunrise and drove over to the nearby Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. As expected at that early hour, there was almost no one else there, but there were plenty of birds (mostly Canadian Geese) and flowers to be seen! I also saw a deer.
Bonus – it’s close enough that I made it home just before the kids got up, so they didn’t even know I was gone! Since Kristen is primary parent when I’m working during the week, is really important for me to take point on the kids as much as practical during the weekends so she can have a break! I’m thankful for places to go nearby that make it possible for me to get out before they get up, at least the time of year without better weather and earlier sunrises.
