Winter Walk in NE Portland

Today I spent the afternoon walking around NE Portland and enjoying the many flowering winter plants along the way. I also found my first crocus of the year, which is my mid-winter reminder that spring is not far away!

I love the Pacific Northwest. Every season is so full of color and life, even in the darkest depths of winter. It’s wet and cold out, but there are bright green mosses, and multicolored lichen, and so many different winter flowers. I am grateful to call this place my home.
