Gettin' close

Springers are running on the Lewis River
(Springers--the most delicious salmon of the year)

This week they begin to top the tulips and they'll all be gone.

Long Beach Mosaic

Hmmm--from buttercream to pure white.

This weekend marks the end of the

Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.

Their brillance will be duly missed.

Orange glow

Portland is alive with excitement as our only professional sports team lives to see another game in the NBA Playoffs.

So many flowers, so little time.

Just Shopping

Positively Purple

The dogwoods are opening.

Everything is blooming so quickly,

I can hardly keep up.

There are more things blooming at the tulip farm than just tulips.

More old stuff

I know. More tulips.

I'm just rejoicing in spring.

It was 80 degrees today and I couldn't stay away. I had to go back to the tulip fields. I've never taken a picture where the background looks like this. I've seen it done in post processing, but there's no post processing here. I need your opinions. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I just love the pink ones.
