PNW Blend
It's a beautiful time of year here in Portland. The skies are transitioning from incessantly overcast to intermittent cloudy, people and pets are out and about with greater frequency, and the trees around the city are in various stages of bloom. Residential neighborhoods turned into sprawling gardens. Every corner a potential photo, like this one just down the street from our house.
There are numerous other major cities around the country that have gorgeous blooming trees, but not many also feature massive conifers. The innate differences between the two make for an interesting juxtaposition as you walk through a gentle 'bokeh' of flowers tumbling down from a Kwanzan Cherry Tree, and peer up at a sentient giant Doug Fir with it's coarse brown bark and spiny dark green needles.
What a beautiful blend.
