Christmas, Portland, Oregon

One of the ornaments lining the bar-seating counter at the hostel in Portland. Quickly snapped during a visit last week. (I can’t believe it was only last week!)

Christmas, Portland, Oregon

This army of Santas was spotted last seek in a storefront just off Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon. I haven’t yet decided whether this display is adorable or mildly frightening. 🤣

Portland, Oregon

There were many stickers identical to this one, plastered on sidewalks all over the central business/commercial areas of Portland, Oregon. Snapped this specimen on my recent visit there.

Portland, Oregon

An obligatory skyline shot of Portland. The weather is brisk and breezy along the water … and that soft mid-morning December sun! Taken earlier this week from the east side of the Willamette River, just a few steps south of the Steel Bridge.

Portland, Oregon

Had so much fun with song titles yesterday, I thought I’d do it again with today’s post. This is from a show at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom on Sunday. As an added bonus, the band that wrote the song whose name I’ve borrowed was actually playing at the venue at the time.

Dreamers
