March 21, 2014, 5:45 p.m., in the sunshine at Tom McCall Waterfront Park

Back when the cherry trees bloomed on a sunny, after work Friday, I took quite a few photos that I really liked over at the park. This one would be so much better if it were in focus clearly, but, still and all, I like the action captured, the bocce ball stopped in midair inches from her hand. Right now as I'm preparing this post on May 24 at 8:38 p.m. Portland time, the sun still lights the sky. I do thoroughly enjoy the extra long days we get in Portland when our weather is at its best.
