2010, Day 84 - Rosemont Bluff Natural Area

Today I went on to the City of Portland's Parks website and chose one at random on a map. When I arrived from the south the park was almost inaccessible so I went around to the north side and discovered trillium!

2010, Day 83 - Mt Tabor

The weather gods were pleased today and instead of the rain that the meteorologists forecast we had highs of almost 70 degrees, sun and a light breeze. On my way to run an errand for work I stopped off at Mt Tabor, one of my favorite places in Portland. It may not be the biggest park but it has so much to offer!

This was my guide, his name is Theodore, and when I walked through the gate he greeted me happily.

And another shot of Hubert, I love the fisheye effect that gives him a HUGE nose.

2010, Day 80 - Running in circles

Despite the wet weather I went out to the whippet races today. These dogs are pets first and athletes second but they love to run!

2010, Day 78 - Excuses

Today I hijacked my friend from her stay-cation and we went to the Lan Su Chinese Garden in downtown Portland. It was a beautiful day and I wanted an excuse to test out one of the lenses I had cleaned up in Los Angeles last week.
