Wildlife Refuge

I was out running errands today. I’d been driving for awhile. I just wanted to go home. But it was cool and sunny, in the 50s maybe. A shame to waste. The Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge happened to be on my way home, so I stopped.

I wasn’t prepared for a hike, but I had a sketchbook and pencils, so I sat near the trailhead and sketched ducks and geese. It was busy, but everyone was in a good mood. “Beautiful weather!” “Lots of birds!”

I didn’t stay long but I’m glad I went. Important to get into nature sometimes.
