A long, wet, cool spring, and then ka-pow!
There is nothing so spectacular as a sunny day in a rainforest.
Portland, Oregon gets a bum rap. It has a lovely climate. Its 156 days of precipitation mean that it is lush and green. That makes a bright warm day memorable and beautiful.
It is the second week in May, and high season for rhododendrons, azaleas, and pink dogwoods. There is no need to overthink this.
Notice the moment.
We live in a really beautiful place. A fact that is especially apparent to someone who is a transplant from another part of the country. And the month of May is an especially beautiful time of year.
well done
