There is something funny about the original name for the area that is now inhabited by the City of Portland. Although there is a lot of open green space in the city, "clear" isn't the first thing that came to mind when I visited the city. Portland is a bustling metropolitan with a multifaceted tone that takes more than a quick glance to digest.
Powell's Books If you're ever in Portland I definitely recommend checking out Powell's Books. They have a whole section devoted to books about growing roses. If you cant find it at Powell's, you cant find it.
The reason I went to Portland to start with was to see my Brother who lives there. I'm sure I'd catch some flack if I didn't include at least one photo of the two of them.
My Nephew Edison. He like to smell the flowers.
Portland has a well used public transit system that makes it really easy to get around town. Plus you never know what kind of characters you might meet.
On the way back I flew over the mountains. Luckily it was a clear day and there was plenty of inspiring geology to see along the way. It made me wish I could just charter a plane and shoot all day.
