Portland Art Museum
We visited the Portland Art Museum in downtown Portland, Oregon, to check out their latest exhibit: The Stars We Do Not See: Australian Indigenous Art, featuring in their words “over 100 works made by more than 130 artists.”
Kenton Street Fair
We checked out the annual Kenton Street Fair this year in North Portland, Oregon. Lots of food, folks, and flowers were everywhere.
North Portland: Kelley Point and Cathedral Parks
I did a little exploring around North Portland with my trusty Canon AE-1 camera. I took in some waves and rays at Kelley Point City Park and then walked around the world-class beauty of the Saint Johns Bridge at Cathedral Park.
International Rose Test Garden
In the hills just west of downtown Portland, in Washington Park, sits the beautiful sights and aromas of the International Rose Test Garden. There you will find thousands of different rose bushes and vines. It’s deservedly one of Portland’s premier tourist destinations.
Leach Botanical Garden, 2 of 2
Portland’s wonderful Leach Botanical Garden has had some financial troubles this year. I love that place and would hate to see it go away. Today I explored the garden with two cameras, each with an unusual filter attached.

Portland Art Museum, Dec 2025
Elaine and I visited the newly revamped and reopened Portland Art Museum. The past couple of years the museum had been partially closed to add an additional 100,000 square feet. It certainly is an improvement to the facility in any and all definitions.
Westmoreland Park, Late Autumn
My camera in hand, I took a walk on a rainy late autumn day down to Westmoreland Park in southeast Portland. How I love a cool, foggy, drizzly day! The park was filled as usual with ducks and flowers and moss and a million other types of greenery.
Leach Botanical Garden, May 2025
16+ acres of lush forest and flowering plants from around the Northwest, and you will get a very different experience depending on what time of year you visit.
