This past Sunday we hiked with friends to Council Crest Park, the highest point in the city of Portland and the highest point in the Tualatin Mountains (West Hills) that run parallel to the Willamette River. There used to be an amusement park here, until 1929, and the base of the water tower was previously the base of an observatory tower.
On the way up, I was struck by the moss-colored fence—nearly the same yellow-green as the spring foliage behind—and by the complex pink blossoms against the dense sprinkling of green.
