Portland.

I went to Portland for work last weekend for a few days. Before the true "work" started I was able to get out and enjoy the city a bit. I hadn't been since I was 13 or so, so it was a lovely surprise to discover that I really, really enjoyed the city and the beautiful surroundings. I made it to the waterfalls, International Rose Test Garden, Japanese Gardens, the Portland Saturday Market (on Sunday, but what a great demonstration of the cities commitment to the creative peeps) and also stumbled upon the naked bike ride, pride parade, great street food and some old friends. Below are a few pics from the weekend...which was a great kick-off to my renewed commitment to photography!
