False start
Well, so I was wrong. We’re not quite ready to shut down before leaving after all. I forgot that I’d promised to have a last look at the riverside cherry grove before we leave, and a promise is a promise. That’s fine. I was a track runner in my deep past, and I recall that I get one false start before I’m disqualified.

Now that I’ve got your attention though, we might as well look around a bit more before leaving. It seems silly to have a post with just one photo, and it’s turned into such a beautiful spring here that it’s hard to stop looking. I’m really going to miss Portland, which is the way it should be - I’ll be excited to return.
First, a few pictures from one last visit to Mount Tabor.

And, finally, one really last ride out to Sauvie Island. I’ve been wanting to come back ever since Rachael taunted me for missing the alleged flock of cranes last week. I’m skeptical, but they’re still around alright. There’s a flock of perhaps a hundred birds off in the distance, hiding behind a massive wall of geese. Too far out for a really good shot, but happily the first ospreys of the year are back in town and of a mind to pose.

OK, now I’m really done. See you in Sicily.
