The Mountain in the Morning

Sometimes we go days without seeing our ever-present friend, Mt Hood. This morning, March 12, 2009, we awoke to clear but brisk (26°) skies. So we drove about three miles to a location known as Panorama Point and took the following photo:

And here's some video of the same.

We can't wait until Spring arrives and the orchards are filled with blossoms and fruit—apples, pears, cherries, huckleberries and much more. And later in summer, Hood River's 12 local wineries will harvest their grapes. So we have much to look forward to, and we'll post plenty of photos and video then.

The only questions is…when will you come and visit?
