Why Oregonians don't move away*

Sometimes pictures speak louder than words. The weather has been incredible the past couple of days. All of the following pictures were taken within walking distance of my house.











See more like these, and some pictures of pretty roses, on my flickr stream.

*in spite of the rain. The entire world thinks it rains all the time here in Oregon, and sometimes I admit it does feel that way. But when the sun comes out we all tend to forget the rain and just enjoy the sun while we have it.

Tomorrow the rain is supposed to move back in so I'll be happy to have these to look at. ;)
