Tualatin Hills Nature Park

Such a gorgeous morning! I met Dick at the Tualatin Hills Nature Park this morning - he’d never been there so it was a treat to walk with him there. Fortunately he enjoys my constant stream of plant related jabber! We walked for about 3 miles, enjoying this exquisite place. If you look really closely, you might see Yellow Pond Lilies in bloom - not to be confused with water lilies.

“In the heart of Beaverton (Oregon), Cedar Mill Creek spills into the westward flowing Beaverton Creek. Surrounding this confluence is the Tualatin Hills Nature Park, a remarkably diverse 222-acre wildlife preserve with wetlands, forests and streams that are habitat to insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.”

This is a truly extraordinary place, offering easy access to nature for anyone who chooses to come here.
