A Few Sites & Signs of Portland

Mt. Hood from Washington Park

I returned from Portland on September 10th. I am just now getting back into what I temporarily left behind- blogging.
Here are just a few of the pix I took while there.
I wanted to live the "urban" and experience nature and I did. I traveled by myself, and am pleased to report that I did not get on my nerves. Mission Accomplished.

One of many paths I shot. This lead up to the Japanese Garden. Talk about heaven.

A Few Urban Window Signs - Poignant :

There is humor in this somewhere:

The Bad Karma Newstand on street corner

I saw this quote outside a store window and thought how fitting:
My new painting/work mantra.
That is my reflection in the glass. I'm going vain on you now: I really, really dislike pix of me. I am not very photogenic which is why you have yet to see my picture posted. I promise once one passes my litmus test, I'm there. Go ahead, you can start humming You're So Vain. I can take it.

Classical Chinese Garden


A gentle reminder from the Japanese Garden:

Remembered to stop and smell in the Rose Garden

Am I moving???????????? Is Portland "IT?" I don't know- yet.
I'll continue to visit. I'll stay open to signs.
