Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, March '24

I always enjoy a stop at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in SE Portland, Oregon. This visit was on a cool drizzly early spring morning, but there were plenty of beautiful sights, from honking geese to blooming flowers of various varieties (including, yes, rhododendrons). Oh, and one huge nutria.

Side note: if you visit the park on a Monday, they offer “pay what you can” admission pricing. Regularly, it is five dollars to enter.
