FOAM
I don't have much to say or show in this one. I returned from Portland during some stormy weather, which then resulted in a pretty awesome foamy beach afterward.

Oregon Up Close
All right, this is number 2 in the "Up Close" series. (Check out Florida here) My recent trip to the Northwest was just in time for the tail end of EVERYTHING being in bloom. So it involved a lot of me walking around, shoving my camera really close to objects and snapping those pictures.
Love that moss. It's so cool how it grows. |

If I Had a Tail, It Would Be Wagging...
Last week I visited my beloved homeland, the Pacific Northwest. And though it was only a six day visit, I wanted to see EVERYTHING. So lets kick it off with...
Portlanders may be trying to keep things weird out there, but there is no denying how beautiful it is this time of year. EVERYTHING is in bloom and the weather switched from rainy to sunny so fast that it was a postcard of April showers there.
PORTLAND!

Keep Portland Wierd |
Yes please. |
And of course, this trip included a jaunt to the Oregon Zoo. One of the big attractions right now is Lucy, the baby elephant. And she is CUTE.
Yes. That IS a bat peeing. I couldn't help myself. |
After Portland it was on to...
BEND!!!
First time seeing snow in two years. |

And then it was on to...
OLYMPIA!!
Every time I'm in Olympia, I wear out my camera taking pictures of everything I can imagine. This time I just took a few out at Burfoot Park. The clouds were insane that day.
And then we capped off the week with a trip to the Oregon Coast. We headed out to the Tillamook Cheese Factory (I think that must be what Heaven smells like) and then went to Cannon Beach. I do love my homestate dearly, but I gotta admit that Oregon beaches are WAY better.
