this is the best time of the year up here.  as a S. CA gal, i have a  hard time with all the green.  it's just to much!  the spring has great colour and breaks up all the green  :evil:

great pictures!
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

Kathy, It was just jaw dropping for me. Everywhere we went, blooms and colors...Hawthorne trees, Dogwood, Iris, Tulips, Lilac, growing like weeds.

We drove to Galice, along the Rogue River, over to Sunny Valley... it was heavenly.

Sharon, ooh, pictures, I love to see the pictures, be grateful that we have those eyes to see, and so many thanks for sharing these lovelies with us.  Great day in this greatest of lives.  Cindi
