Take a walk with me.....

Ok, ok I KNOW you are getting tired of me ranting on about Quilt Market but it such a rainy dreary day and I need to brighten myself up so come and take a walk with me. Back to a gorgeously sunny and perfectly warm day in downtown Portland. We had just finished lunch outside and were enjoying all the life, air and openess around us. Amelia and I were on a camera kick. It's fun to take photos at market and get your photos taken with your favorite "celebrities", but it's nice to just break out the camera and take photos for no particular reason. To have freedom to shoot as you please. Can you relate or do I sound completely crazy here? LOL!


Back on subject here - We knew we were "close" to Anthropology and wanted to make a stop there. The waiters had told us to catch the streetcar a few blocks over and it would take us right down there. WELL...............catching that streetcar proved to be alittle harder than we thought. First we weren't really sure what the streetcar was! We knew what The MAX was but this was different. We found a streetcar stop but no one standing there was sure if they were in the right spot, and after several minutes of waiting and seeing nothing................we kept on trecking down the blocks in the general direction.

Along the way I snapped several photos of the great architecture that was around us! I loved photographing staircases, clocks, statues, lamp posts, old building with character, etc. They are a few of my favorites and Portland had plenty to offer! So.........let's take a walk.......



A funny note about our whole "walking" experience was as we were halfway back to where we could catch The MAX back to our hotel we finally saw the streetcar! Of course we were no where near a stop for it to pick us up, but funny just the same. I was beginning to think it was an "urban myth!" *snicker*
