Fun Times

Fun, as seen on Brown Street.

Share a Bike

A nearly empty bike share rack (generally a good sign) at Monument Square the other evening.

Free Reflections

Reflections of upper Free Street in a large puddle.

Talk a Walk

A quiet walk on the back side of Peaks Island.

Campus Construction

A glimpse of the new buildings on the growing Portland campus of the University of Southern Maine. 

Seeing Colors

I'm not able to get out for sunsets like I used to, so was happy to stumble upon some nice colors in the neighborhood last night. From Bracket Street in the West End.

After a Little Rain

Strong reflections at Emery & Pine after a recent rainy afternoon.

Green Below, Blue Above

The row houses of Stratton Place above a nice green lawn and below a bright blue sky.

Sunny Sidewalks

Good to see the busy sidewalks of Exchange Street on a sunny day.

Bread and Butter

Bread AND pastry? Yum. Looking forward to Zu Bakery opening soon at 81 Clark Street.

Off the Rails

A bit of rail from an old trolley line visible on Spring Street. In addition to safe and efficient transportation around the peninsula, trolleys also used to connect cities and towns all around Maine.There's an immense amount of info and photos of the Portland trolley system (the Portland Railroad) here: https://narcissus1912.blogspot.com/2018/10/portland-railroad-history-of-public.html.
