Susan Palmer's Exquisite Now

The McKenzie River in Oregon flows from snowmelt filtered through the unique volcanic aquifer of the Cascades into icy springs that feed Clear Lake. To walk the trail around that lake, to see clear water that flows out of the lake to become the river that provides Eugene with its drinking water, that’s an experience. Maybe somebody has the words. Beyond a sense of awe, I can’t say more. Here are pictures.

Icy water bubbles up from this spring to flow into the lake.
