"Love at first hearing" - Oregon Arts Watch
My childhood summers were spent in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. We traveled all over Oregon, to Black Butte Ranch, Bend, Crater Lake. We fished the Metolius River, hiked between alpine lakes, visited the Columbia River Gorge. Among Mountains is a short ode to the simplicity of that time and the majesty and beauty of the Cascade Range.
