Anyway, it was so beautiful out that I had to go letterboxing. I started at the Troutdale Boardwalk (Bellingham Neighborhood Park, which is this little wetland area over across from Mt. Hood Community College), where I found a very nice box (in a place where it isn’t going to last) and while I was stamping in saw a Pileated Woodpecker (I didn't know at the time that was what he was, but my friend Diane the bird watcher was able to help me figure it out). He was gorgeous. I reached for my camera that I always carry for just such occasions and realized I had left it in the car. I was so mad at myself. But here is an image I took off Google of what one looks like. We’ll pretend he was my woodpecker.
He was a brave guy. It didn’t really bother him that I was walking by about 4 feet from him.
I didn’t see this view, but it’s pretty funny.
I think I'll go back again and see if I can find him and get his picture.
I love that there are signs of spring coming out all over!
