.biking, hiking, and soaking up portland.

it all started on saturday, the beauty of portland began to show through the clouds, and it proved itself with a beautiful weekend. all the pasties (white portlanders that do not see sun for months) came out for some valuable vitamin d


west side waterfront park


hawthorne bridge


it never gets old, whenever i find a swing, i swing, and love every minute of it


gazing at fly-fisherman in a city pond


blossoms for everyone to enjoy


we ended up taking a nap in some grass and sunshine for over an hour. everyday should be like this.


i love my bike, especially since i added these sweet ribbons


funny article at "the basement pub"


ben's gloves - he loves them as holey as they are


a sweet and savory IPA at the "green dragon"

so then on sunday we took a serious urban hike through the huge parks that portland is known for. it was amazing and we remembered why we moved here!
