mostly grey, with a chance of orange
Moving on, now, from the meetinghouse for a few day’s worth of photos from Portland, which was a city I feel in love with the minute I arrived in town.

And a turquoise window frame? Yes, please.
And old bricks? Certainly.
And a photo of all of it? But, of course.

I think you know me well enough by now that there is a 100% chance that I will think hotel-room reflections are very enchanting. And also the same chance that I will make a photograph or ten of them.
