April Blooms

April has just been big bloom fest here in Oregon. It's like this every year, and every year I am amazed that the beauty of this place.

I love to take walks with my camera in hand - and usually one or both of my girls - and capture the beauty of spring. Here's a sampling of what I've seen lately. Some of these are edited and some are straight out of my camera. Also...several of these are right from my garden while others are from the neighborhood.

Tulips

Lilacs

Irises

Dogwood trees

Camelias

Wisteria
