Recreation Trail

A cascade of pale pink cherry blossoms creates a floral canopy over the bustling Willamette Greenway Trail at Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

The scene captures that fleeting Pacific Northwest moment when winter's grip loosens and the city collectively exhales into spring. — ISO 160 · 59mm · f/4.5 · 1/125
