Portland got a nice week of intermittent snow storms.
I got my macro gear setup to try and capture some of the little beauties.
They were hard to find and mostly melted, but this one lingered long enough to dance.

Complex, sweet, but in a fruity and cider like way.  A hard bite, not quite snappy, certainly not mushy.  Crimson.

Climate Spiral

This Climate Spiral, as I call the altar, is made on this day of the people’s climate march, toward the end of a week of solidarity.  It was inspired by hearing about the water blessings taking place in Washington DC before the day’s events begin.

I build this altar.  Recognizing that the earth is whole, and shall be fine.  Also recognizing that we are at choice, we can influence how quickly our planet changes and what will be lost.

Contemplate, make your choices, add your unique voice.

On a pleasantly cloudy day with passing showers we visited Wooden Shoe Tulip farm and enjoyed the delicious vibrance of many many tulip varieties.  From white to red to pink and blue, with ruffles, points, variations, and flowers within flowers.  Wondrous sights and borderline overwhelming variety and bounty.   Highly recommended.

Out to sun and blooms!

Went out hoping for some sunshine.  Got some, and some wind, and lots of wildflowers!  So many Grass Widows, one hillside in particulare was super Dense!

Brightest Rainbow

Suddenly the world turned orange – glowing
after the grays and blues of another cloudy day.
And out up in the sky a rainbow shone!

I can only think of the Washington Monument.

Of the thousands gathered there,
of the millions who would be there,
and of all those silent because they just don’t know.

For what will you raise your voice?
