Perfect timing

We drove over 400 miles today, to Bend and back. John and Micah were checking on a jobsite, I rode along for fun. There was still snow on the higher elevation, but the roads were clear, and the day beautiful. On the way back we decided to check the capitol mall in Salem to see if the cherry trees there were in bloom. Yes! So the cherry blossoms trumped all of the wonderful scenery I'd captured as the day unfolded. There are probably hundreds of these trees in front of the capitol building. My last blip of it was mono, the golden pioneer was not very golden. Here he is.
