I have not seen these azalea in this location for years, it used to be form like boxes but now it is all natural which I like better. When I saw this I asked Pokie if we could stop by and capture it.

I promised myself that I will walk 2.0 miles, so I ventured early Sunday morning and explored the neighborhood. It was an overcast and luckily the rain hold off until later that morning. I accomplished walking 2 miles that morning. By the end of the day, I managed to add another 1.5 miles bringing a total of walking that today to 3.5 miles.

Capitol - Salem, Oregon

 

We plan to go to Dallas, Oregon, but we made a diversion to the Capitol in Salem when we heard there is TAIKO performance and spring festival. We arrive just before 9:00 in the morning and parking is still a breeze, when we left close to noon, it was packed, free parking is hard to come buy.
