Blueberries

One of the gems of Portland is Sauvie Island. It is only a few miles from town, but is basically farmland, and feels completely like a seperate place entirely. People go out there to ride their bikes, hike, shop at little markets and vendors, camp, maybe go to the clothing optional beach, or go to the farms. I remember many years of my childhood going out there to the pumpkim patch. Sometimes it was a field trip for school, sometimes it was with family.
A few weeks ago, I went out to the island to pick blueberries. It's a fun experience, and the berries are many times more flavorful than those you get in the store. And you can get tons of them for not much cost. The picture above is one I snapped really quickly with my phone. Indeed, I am posting this from my phone as well. It's been a long time since I updated anything, I wanted to get one up. I have been working on creating a Facebook page, so there will be new photos there soon.
