Beneath the St. Johns Bridge across the Willamette River, Portland Oregon

Near the end of May we spent a few days in Portland, Oregon on a non-business trip. Most of our time was in the downtown area of Portland, probably mostly in and around the Pearl District. Yes, we did the usual stuff – Stumptown Coffee, repeated trips to Powell’s Books, sampling Oregon beer…

On the final morning before our departure we found ourselves with a few extra hours before we had to get to the airport, so we got out of downtown Portland and visited the area near the St. Johns Bridge. It was a quiet and misty morning, so our walk in the park beneath the bridge was a wet one, but I had time to photograph the bridge and the blossoming dogwood trees nearby. (For those who keep track of such things, this photograph was done using the little Fujifilm X-E1 camera – which is turning out to be a wonderful travel camera.)
