| followed by a golden sunset from the front deck.
Today was a Portland day, a retinologist day, which means leaving the house early and returning late. Fortunately, in mid-March, that is not a hardship. There was much to see between here and there (The desert parsley is in full bloom! See how the water is spraying off the barges as they come down the river in this wind! Look at the harriers!) And there is sunset, with storm clouds to make it that much more dramatic.
The trip itself went well - few traffic problems, good conversation with a friend who seemed truly glad for the trip, and a single injection, this time in my already bad eye, so I have to admit to not caring that much. My good eye is holding steady!
We had wind, sun, rain, clouds, and even a few snowflakes through the Cascades. We had conversation, both serious and humorous. There was a bit of time to read, some time to make two phone calls, and returning home just in time for sunset. We even had time to visit the grave of my friend's great-grandfather - a grave newly rediscovered, not that far from where my appointment was. Had I taken my camera, I would share several photos. I did not - but the beauty of the day is impressed on my memory.
