Last night I decided to meander downtown to check out the cherry trees I heard were in bloom. It was a beautiful sunny evening down by the Willamette River. By the waterfront at the Japanese American Historical Plaza, graceful pink blossoms shimmered in the trees. I found that I wasn’t the only one out to enjoy the sunset under this delicate umbrella of flowers. I mingled with other folks out for a picnic or a bike ride or a stroll, happy that warm weather was finally upon us.
Then, VERY early in the morning I decided to go for a drive. I watched the sunrise over the Columbia River Gorge in the silence of dawn.
Then traveling east I came upon Dabney State Park along the Sandy River. New green shoots seemed to be popping up everywhere, and I enjoyed the solitude of a fresh green morning.
