Lucia Falls, in Yacolt, Washington; early springtime afternoon, March 10, 2020.

On those rare Pacific Northwest springtime days when the sun does shine–carpe diem!

As coronavirus dominates the airwaves, getting out in the wide-open spaces of the great outdoors is a healthy way to escape the worry, do no harm and feed your soul. 

Lucia Falls, Moulton Falls and Sunset Falls . . .This easy hiking sweet trio of waterfalls within a stone’s throw of each other is one of Clark County’s most beautiful spots. Dougan Falls, in the hills above Washougal ranks a close second IMHO.

No hand sanitizer required.

The violets smelled heavenly!

White violets; less vibrant than their indigo siblings though every bit as fragrant.

We waited and waited for this butterfly to spread its wings to no avail. Camera shy!
