My mom got me hooked on birdwatching, and it's fun, but often frustrating.

They can incorporate it into their environment.<BR/><BR/>Extending that thought then, isn't it kind of arrogant of us to assume that our intrusions into nature are nothing but damaging to it?<BR/><BR/>To an extent, of course.<BR/><BR/>But I digress.<BR/><BR/>What a view.

And salmon berries, yumm.<BR/><BR/>It's a great places for a bike ride, especially if you come up from Riverside Dr because there is some spectacular canyon scenery down where the trail starts from the end of the road. I like to go up to the hatchery and see the old growth forest there; but it's a long walk on paved road for the pedestrian since the fishermen's trail only goes halfway up.truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-81974909449162858872008-07-21T19:07:00.000-07:002008-07-21T19:07:00.000-07:00Geez, you sure know your parks..!
