Day 150: Food Cart City

Portland has the most food carts of any US City!  They are just wonderful!!! With pods of carts all over town that offer every type of food you can think of, it's a inexpensive and fun way to grab lunch...or dinner...or sometimes even breakfast! For the local "Food Carts Portland" website, click here.

Day 149: Artful tree

This found/tree art caught my attention as I walked down the sidewalk - not sure what it is, but someone was creative!

Day 148: A Fallen Crown

This crown: "The Little Prince" by Ilan Averbuch sits outside of the arena in the Rose Quarter. According to the Public Arts Search Website, "The Little Prince is a partially buried copper crown located at the south end of the arena in the Rose Quarter. It is a piece about imagination, desires and aspirations, conquests and struggles. It is the job of the viewer to create the story that goes along with the crown. Is it a victory and position of honor waiting to be claimed, or is there another story? Only the viewer can say. Ilan's inspiration for this piece was the "Little Prince" by Antoine De Saint-Exupery, in particular, the first chapter where he talks about his drawing of a boa constrictor swallowing an elephant being misunderstood as a hat."

Day 147: Saint Helens Over Portland

Mount Saint Helens could be seen over this great vista of downtown Portland on this beautiful clear day!  I took the photo from the Arial Tram up to OHSU - which gives one of the best views of Portland, I think!

Day 146: Winter's Bloom

Despite the cold gray weather, the abundant rain and an occasional sunny day can still convince blooms to bless us.  What a happy surprise on this cold wintery day!
