An award-winning farm that ships irises all over world, with custom hybrid varieties that you cannot find anywhere else. If you are like me and love the smell of irises, this farm is a heavenly place to visit. Bring your nose!
A few months ago I took my beloved Canon AE-1 and some expired film around downtown Portland, Oregon.
We visited the fabulous tulip fields during one of the all-time coolest and wettest Aprils on record…

The museum’s most famous and most immediately stunning piece is the Spruce Goose, but the place is packed to the gills with planes, helicopters, rockets, memorabilia, and more…
We walked miles and miles around the city center from this museum to that, from this fun spot to that. I really enjoyed myself, particularly attracted to and energized by the intellectual vibe in the air, thick like the humidity.
A foggy morning gave way to a sunny afternoon as Elaine and I took a drive from Portland up the Columbia Gorge to Hood River for lunch…
