Nature As Neighbors - We Love BeesWe recently sent our clients a "Bee Magnet" and a quick reminder to take steps to help save these important pollinators. We were so happy to see many respond and share the ways in which they're helping. This is one of our favorite photos from a Multi-Gen family we worked with last year. We found them a  5-acre estate just outside of Washougal and they have since planted part of the acreage in wildflowers. We think the results are charming. Thanks Genia, Russell, Gary, and Karla - you are all greatly appreciated! 07/01/2016

One advantage of living in Camas, WA is how many places offer amazing views of the area. The geological evolution of heat, ice and floods over eons formed dramatic promontories overlooking deep canyons, creating panoramic vistas from many points. The surrounding areas also morphed into peaks and hillsides, so you don’t have to be perched right on the edge of the Gorge to have views.Views don't always have to be spectacular to be satisfying. Sometimes, it just takes the right amount of property with a territorial or pastoral to provide "elbow room for the soul."™If this is what you look for in a home, you are in luck - there are many choices for ViewHomes™ - most with acreage, or large lots, and at varying price points.  Also, a variety of luxury View Homes are available in varying price... 06/20/2016

If you're like me, digging in the dirt can calm, ground, and refresh your mood, all at once.  It's truly an enjoyable endeavor that also pays off in beautiful blooms and tasty vegetables and fruits. Studies have shown that gardening can have a meditative, healing effect on people - one study coined the phrase Horticultural Therapy.  It is definitely an area in our lives where we experience "elbow room for the soul".In Clark County, WA, you'll have to adjust your gardening style to the different conditions within our region. For example, those of us who live in East County - Fishers Landing, Camas, and Washougal have gorge winds to reckon with as they can cause problems with our plantings.Strong winds tug at delicate root systems and prevent optimal growth. In addition, the wind dries ou... 05/23/2016

We have been watching our fields here in Camas, WA for the amazing monarch butterflies as they return on their journey North to the United States and Canada. The monarch has been a marvel of nature for centuries - noted as much for its spectacular beauty as its impressive migration patterns between North and South America. Scientists estimate that some monarchs travel as much as 2,000 miles, returning each year to their warmer resting spots in the South.  East Coast monarchs winter in Mexico, while West Coast flocks - appropriately called "kaleidoscopes" - head to Southern California.In recent years, though, there has been a recognizable decline in population due to pesticides, loss of habitat, and reduction in milkweed fields, their feeding grounds. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service i... 05/09/2016

       “In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks.” ― John Muir      This is a small section of the Lacamas Heritage Trail in Camas, it's easily one of our favorite spots to walk, or run, with Nature. In fact, we think it's about time to lace up the running shoes again. Happy Thursday.  04/28/2016

Nature As Neighbors - GratitudeThis week on Friday, April 22nd, we celebrate the 46th annual Earth Day.  Started by local Camas resident Denis Hayes back in 1972, it has become an international movement that has raised our collective environmental consciousness. Coincidentally, while sitting here starting this post, I kept hearing a sweet chirping coming from a nearby meadow. We are surrounded by song birds this time of year, and often can identify different birds based on their sound, but I couldn't quite place this one:Turns out, it is a Wilson's Warbler, a bright yellow migratory bird that flies over 2,500 miles annually to winter in Central America. As they start to return every spring, it would be easy to mistake this little guy for another bright yellow bird, the American Goldfinc... 04/18/2016

Family Day at our Home in CamasWe are having great weather this weekend in the Pacific Northwest, and Clark County is no exception. Yesterday was simply lovely and today promises more sunshine with temperatures near 80 degrees. At our multi-gen home in Camas, Sunday's are family day and we usually work on a project together and finish the day with a family meal hosted by one of the couples.Couples, you may ask? What kind of crazy commune are you living at in Camas? Actually, our home includes my sister and her husband, my husband and me, and our elderly parents. Here's the complete story if you want more details. Since Cheri and Bob are still on their road trip, Bernie and I are holding down the fort this month. One of our projects this weekend is building garden boxes, including a cold... 04/17/2016

The Camas Lily Fields - A Stunning View in Spring"Timing is everything" is an expression that certainly applies to viewing the blossoming Camas lily field  in Lacamas Lake Regional Park. They are in their prime late April through May, when they explode into hues from pale lilac to deep purple. If you hike along the Round Lake Trail, you will note a sign steering you off the path to a field carpeted with lilies.  It's another one of Nature's spectacular sights, worth visiting during the height of its blooms.Surprisingly, this beautiful plant was also a major source of food for Native Americans who lived in the area, and also helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition survive their winter here. The flower is edible, as well as the bulb - boiled like a potato, or dried and pounded into flour.  ... 04/13/2016

Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else But Me.We have three little apple trees growing on our property located in the hills above Camas. Since this is the first Spring we've spent living here, we are delighted to watch the various deciduous trees come to life. A large flowering cherry is taking center stage in the yard and it's covered with cotton-candy pink blooms. However, it's the little apple trees that have captured most of our attention. We are hoping the bees start working these trees for pollination purposes, plus we're crossing our fingers that we won't have a heavy frost. We hope we'll be sharing photos of our apples this summer.  04/11/2016

ViewHomes of Clark County with Nature As Neighbors - Today's Market Report - Prune Hill Prune Hill is a favorite neighborhood for ViewHome™ buyers in Camas, WA, despite its funny name.  Situated on a hill overlooking the Columbia River, many locations offer panoramic views of the river, Mount Hood, and Portland city lights. The area has a rich local history and it lives up to the name. The cinder cone of a now-extinct volcano, the hill was once covered in prune orchards - earning it the title of “Prune Capitol of the World.”  Today, few of the trees remain - however, there is a notable stand at the intersection of Forest Home Road and NW Astor.Neighborhoods on Prune Hill are popular with families because of top-rated Camas schools and the small town, family-friendly atmosphere of Southw... 04/05/2016
