Exploring the neighbourhood

We had planned for today to be a little less energetic, spending time in the neighbourhoods in walking distance to our home. The fact that it was occasionally drizzling helped to confirm our quieter day. According to locals we’ve chatted with, winter and spring are all about flowers in Portland, and we are quite taken by them. In our few days here the Magnolia trees have gone from plump buds to monstrous flowers. I’ll try to keep the food references to one photo today.
