The rhododedrons are in full bloom everywhere you look. . .

at least the pink ones are.

My favorite spring flowers.

Does anyone know what this lovely little thing is called?

I've never seen one before, but it caught my eye in a garden.

Ah. . . Spring.

It's time to go visit grandchildren.

Happy First Full Day of Spring!

A Northwestern sunbreak--

a sure sign of spring.

Spring is slowly arriving in light pastels.

This always reminds me of the annual

quest for glass floats on the beach

in Lincoln City.

Crab Buoys

Newport, Oregon

A little green is beginning to creep

back in the veins of the ivy.

Spring may make it by Friday afterall.

The rains returned today.

Friday morning was the last of the

strawberry sunrises over Salmon Creek.

One last frosty morning.

Astoria-Megler Bridge over the Columbia River.

Have a happy day.

The camellias are almost ready to open.

Heceta Head Lighthouse
I find it difficult to leave any lighthouse unphotographed.

There were no roses at the Washington Park Rose Garden,

but I did find these.

On a rainy today like today,

I have to remind myself

what these showers will bring.

On the dock in Anacortes, Washington.

Red sky at night, sailor's delight.

A dusting of snow on the coast range
