Farmers Market Officially Opens At New PDX Terminal Complete with street performers, local ballot initiative canvassers and raw honey harvesters, the market will be open to the public on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

I know this is satire, but I'd be damned if I didn't think this was an amazing idea. Buying a pint of Hoods on my way home from vacation in May, or grabbing a bag of peaches in July to take to my family in Hotlanta to show them, ours are truly better! 😜

PDX airport, please!

Hiking around Washington Park on a quintessential Pacific Northwest autumn day. Only had to dodge a couple raindrops!

Ruby Falls. A 90 foot waterfall inside a cavernous room in a cave. Bathed in magenta lighting with a pop of dark blue near the bottom of the waterfall.

One of my hobbies I enjoy most is traveling and finding new experiences to photograph. This past Monday I visited Ruby Falls outside of Chattanooga, TN, and was mouth dropped in awe to witness what had been on my bucket list for decades!

Oregon’s largest union rejoins labor federation AFL-CIO after two decades Graham Trainor, president of Oregon AFL-CIO, said his federation and SEIU 503 are “powerful, sophisticated organizations” that will become stronger by joining together.
