Reader Photos: May 2012

Time for some more reader photos! I am once again impressed by the amount of photo submissions I've received via email and also through the Portland Daily Photo Flickr Group. Since I got multiple submissions from some people, I am keeping it fair and posting one photo from each contributor in this post. I have attached the photographer's name and a link to their website (if applicable) to each image.
