some of my favorite color pics from portland

A couple of the best things about Portland are the gorgeous land and seascapes and the delicious food.  The former can be found right in the city (Forest Park and Washington Park) or within a short drive (the Columbia River Gorge or on to the coast). The food can be found at one of many, many superb restaurants or at one of many incredible farmer's markets.

Some of my favorite snapshots from our summer in Portland have to do with the landscape and the food.
