When I went to Willamette Park for the first time on June 10, 2020, I was blown away (figuratively speaking). There were plants, trees and flowers as far as the eye could see.

For one thing, the trees sure were beautiful to look at. Their leaves reminded me about the beauty of the color green and how it can be cool and friendly (and they still do, as a matter of fact).

Also, whenever I looked at the flowers and plants, I smiled when I took notice of how awesome they looked (and still are). As I took pictures of the nature I saw, I was then reminded of Susie Salmon in the 2009 film The Lovely Bones and her saying that she liked how a photo could capture a moment before it was gone. Even now, I know what she meant.

And when it came to the nature in the green of the plants, the beauty in the flowers and the wonder in the trees, there was something special they all had that nature photographers are able to find.

Finally, I highly recommend Willamette Park for all the nature lovers and photographers out there, and I give it five stars as well (although ten stars would be even better).
