Back on to the subject of visual escapes. Yesterday I drove to my dermatologist, to have sutures removed after a procedure two weeks ago. Because I was driving, had no dashcam, and wouldn't try to take a picture while driving, you'll have to read the picture.

Here in Oregon, things are blooming. Big time. And all shades of green abound! The center medium of the interstate, has bunches and spreads of wild poppies. The brilliant hunter orange of the flowers contrasts with the darker shades of green that make up the leaves. In between the bouquets, there might be some browning grass [we been having a warm and dry spell recently], or some wild blackberries starting their yearly growth. Trees are setting blooms of white or light pink flowers [no idea what kind they are, doesn't matter, they are gorgeous!], while the evergreen pines create a punctuation mark of hunter green. During the winter months, you can see the houses that are normally hidden by leafed-out trees. Now they are retreating into their backgrounds with the coming Spring.

There.
Ginger

@lioness and everybody else. Straight from the watery shores of Lake Sacajawea in lovely Longview, Washington, I, virgo 1952, bring you all BABIES. Spring is eternal. Good is happening everywhere. Just have to see it. Great day everyone virgo .

You painted a wonderful word picture, @gingerw! Poppies are one of my most favorite flowers and are early bloomers here to boot. Our arboretum has a lovely, large wild flower park and photographers delight in rainbow colors of multi-poppy varieties, larkspur, coreopsis, and many others. I have been so tempted to drive over but have so far restrained myself because I am reluctant to use gas pumps for filling-up.
