Springtime in Portland

Today, it’s been absolutely dreadful outside; there’s been no stop to the rain.  It seemed like the perfect time to go through the photographs I took last weekend in the Sellwood-Moreland neighbourhood, located in Southeast Portland.  Last weekend was absolutely magnificent, complete with clear blue skies and perfect lighting.  There have been a few moments when the sun will peek out through the silver haze of clouds, and the anticipation for spring has the city in a buzz of excitement.  Flowers and leaves have started to appear on branches, and there is just a hint of colour everywhere you turn.
