Balboa Park deserves a post all its own and I plan to share photos of the area later this weekend.

I think I'm falling in love with San Diego!
But they have also chosen to leave a portion of their land as forest. Whenever I visit them, we always make time to 'take a walk in the forest'.
There are paths that beckon you to duck under the tree branches and follow where they lead you.
Dandelion globes decorate the damp ground under the forest canopy.
Even snail shells nestled in the moss are beautiful!
During the three days I was visiting the farm, Flower and I took two wonderful rambles through the forest and the Christmas trees.
It was wonderful!
The famous Powell's Books is on the south edge of the Pearl. You really need HOURS to explore Powell's. We had a tradition with our children that we went to Powell's on New Year's Day and spent ALL DAY there, wandering around the stacks and stacks of books in all the rooms in the massive building that houses only PART of Powell's book collection.
Friday was a lovely warm spring day and every where I looked there was blue sky and trees bursting out with green leaves. Portland really shines in the spring!
Of course, an outing to Portland wasn't my only activity during the weekend. There are so many green and fragrant places in Oregon! Stayed tuned for more!
and a blossoming tree.
