2012, Day 141 - Flower bundt

I might be over-tired but does the center of this daisy look like a cornmeal bundt cake?  I rather wish that is what it was, that sounds good...

Spring is a magical time in the Pacific NW.  We ensure a wet winter which in turn becomes a damp spring that is filled with the sweet scents and riots of color.  Frond gently unfurl from the semi-dormant ferns and the streams and rivers swell with the melting snow.  Our lush surroundings become even more rich as the canopy leafs out again and the heady smell of the earth fills your nose.

Although my move to Portland was made impetuously I have never once regretting making this city my home.
