Hearts Around Town

Spotted a few hearts around town early this morning. Thanks Valentine's Day bandit(s)!

V-Day

Happy to see the Valentine's hearts around town yesterday.

Valentines 2021

A few of the hearts around town for the annual occurrence of St. Valentine's Day.

Oh, Christmas Tree

This year's Monument Square Christmas tree, fresh from Deering Oaks Park.

Park Lights

A pleasant stroll past the lights in Tommy's Park last night.

Custom House Wharf, Wreaths

Congress Square Lights, Nov. 2018

Digging the blue/red/purple lighting theme in Congress Square Park this year.

Easter Egg Tree

Spotted an elusive Easter egg tree on Winter Street. This species only shows its colors one day a year.

December in Monument Square, 2017

Monument Square in December with a proper amount of snow and seasonal decorations.

Congress Square Park, Dec. 2016

The view from Congress Square Park as of this evening. As a member of the Portland Public Art Committee, I encourage you to check out the pubic meeting tomorrow at the Westin concerning the redesign of this space. Details here.

City Hall Christmas Tree

The Christmas Tree in front of Portland City Hall was looking festive earlier this week after a dusting of snow.

Pine Street Doors, December 2016

Another good looking holiday-themed door, spotted on Pine Street in Portland's West End.

Holidays in the City

Dare I say, it's beginning to look a bit like the holidays around town. Especially from this spot looking towards Monument Square.

Memorial Day 2016

An American flag attached to a fence at Bug Light Park this afternoon.

Above the Pub

A busy Brian Boru pub beneath a St. Patrick's Day message on the Time and Temperature Sign. This is about as close as I'd dare get to a bar today!

St. Patrick's 2016

From the local Irish American Club’s annual St. Patrick’s Parade down Commercial Street, last Sunday.

XOXO

The Time and Temperature Building reminds us that Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. If the Valentine Bandit(s) can handle the expected overnight low temperature of -8° fahrenheit then be on the look for hearts all over town tomorrow.

Tree in the Square

Looking up at the Christmas tree in Monument Square, from earlier this evening. Although the distortion is rather extreme (due to using a 14mm lens on a full-frame DSLR), I kind of like the look. Sometimes it's fun to walk around with this particular lens just to get a completely different perspective on things.
