Evidence of Spring

Over the last few weeks I've tried to capture a quintessential image of spring, but I had to settle for a group. The early spring flowers are in bloom and most trees are now sporting their spring foliage. There was a time when I thought flowering trees such as dogwood were too showy, but now I will find a parking space near one to take a look or even a photo. I've truly enjoyed the little digital camera I take along in my purse. It seems like I'm looking at things differently as I try to capture delights with the lens. Next I'm looking forward to the iris blooming. Cooley's Gardens purports to be the world's largest iris grower and is located in Silverton. I love seeing the rows and rows of iris along the road. (And then I search for my antihistamine!)
