Recently, I had an extra hour at Portland’s airport. I was half an hour early and Jamison’s plane was half an hour late. Knowing I’d be early, I’d taken my camera. I explored the MAX station, through the South tunnel to the new rental car area, and along the ride-hailing pickup zone.

Going downhill at Mt. Tabor
Wednesday means Mt. Tabor. Unfortunately, longboarding is just not the same thing without Jamison. Little buddy!
I did some runs from the bottom third or so. It’s the most efficient considering the run’s length vs. the return walking length. And it does eliminate the risk of all but one blind corner, a good thing when skating alone.
The views are spectacular! My photography and the time of day don’t do it justice.
- The main picture is the reverse view of yesterday’s picture.
- The middle picture shows the walk back up the hill.
- The goatee is an experiment, started during our recent family camping trip. I don’t expect it to last. Otherwise, I’d need to update my profile picture. ;-{>
Mt. Tabor and Mt. Hood
Mt. Tabor and Mt. Hood — a couple of my favorite mountains!
Home again
So nice to be back home again. Even better to be met at the airport by my sweetie. :-)

The bridge to PDX
About a week ago, Suzi and I dropped Melissa off at the airport. Normally, I park on the fourth floor of short term parking because that is the skybridge floor. As I got off the ramp, I noticed the sign said one parking space was available. What?! There was a car ahead of me, too.
I dropped Suzi and Melissa off at the skybridge and looked for the ramp to go up another couple of floors. Parking above the skybridge, I saw a different view than I normally see.
Mmm… I like it! :-)
Portland Photowalk
Flower
Portland’s International Rose Test Garden is a beautiful walk from the NW 23rd neighborhood. I spotted this flower along the way.
Marquam Bridge Ramps
On the east bank of the Willamette River, ramps lead to the Marquam Bridge.
Tilikum Crossing
I’m looking forward to walking across Tilikum Crossing.
PDX Terminal
I dropped Suzi off at the airport earlier this week. Headed back to the short term parking garage, I crouched down to take a shot.
