Bloom Where You're Planted

I met my son in Portland for a Thai lunch and a walk in Laurelhurst Park. We had a wonderful meal and fun time together. Later I joined Kendall & Sue at Sue's.

I was surprised to see this azalea in full bloom. Laurelhurst Park was designed by the Olmsted brothers, who also designed Central Park in NYC. Here is a link, if you would like to know more: http://www.pbs.org/wned/frederick-law-olmsted/learn-more/john-charles-olmsted-the-pacific-northwest/
