Pearl District Dogs with Their Owners ( (Reminiscences from 2014 #2)

We were struck, when we arrived in Portland, with the profusion of people walking their dogs near our new home in the Pearl District. I asked if I could take pictures, and the owners were generally happy to oblige.

Portland Transportation (Reminiscences from 2014 #1)

We moved from the Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota to Portland, Oregon in 2014. I had been photographing seriously in Minnesota, and found Oregon full of interesting sights to continue this hobby. I'll be away from home and unable to continue posting new photos for a few days, so I thought I'd look back to some of my first photos after moving to Portland. 

Portlanders are undecided about the virtues of automobiles, so other forms of transportation are also popular. Three examples:
