A (very) short video of Coal Creek Falls
from our walk (hike) yesterday at
Cougar Mountain Regional Wildlife Park.

The day was nearly balmy; a warm breeze
rustled the painfully-new green of alders
and vine maples. I grew up almost in the back yard
of this park, and walking through these ravines
and ferny glens is as close to a sacramental experience
as I'm likely to get these days.
I'd like to climb a tree and perch awhile
among the chattering finches.
And just be silent.
