Soooooo not fair---can you please send a little bit of spring our way before summer hits? For a "mild" winter, it sure is lasting long enough (we've had snow flurries and sleet this past week). Six months of cold is just too long (sigh).
Move to Stumptown! All the cool kids are! It's all blooming flowers, majestic waterfalls, brew pubs and subaru cars. My favorite local bumper sticker is "Keep Portland Weird!" I think there's probably tons of puppeteering work too. (actually, I have no facts to back that up ;)
This is just plain freaking amazing. I can't wait to live in that perfect place. But since I can't live in your photos, I'll have to settle for second best - BridgePort or Stumptown as you call it. (why do you call it that?)
from Wikipedia: "Stumptown" is a nickname for Portland, Oregon, coined in a period of phenomenal growth in the city after 1847. Portland was growing so rapidly that the stumps of trees cut down to make way for roads were left until manpower could be spared to remove them. In some areas, the stumps remained for so long that locals painted them white to make them more visible, and used them to cross the street without sinking into the mud.
I have adopted it because of the Best coffee in the known universe is Stumptown Coffee.
