Spring brings out the blossoms on the fruit trees in Portland. I found these at Portland State University, which is located at the south end of downtown Portland. With the relatively warm climate on the west coast, spring flowers start early—crocuses and such in February, daffodils not far behind. A little later come the trees: cherry, apple, and perhaps best of all, the magnolias.
