Springtime in Portland

It rains a lot in Portland and everyone knows it. So green is the prominent color every where you look but beautifully soft pink of cherry blossoms floating through the sky like snow is the perfect contrast to the sea of green.



Every time I travel, I love to visit the pioneer cemeteries of the area if time permits. Well, I had a bit of time in Portland to practice a photo stitching project and the Lone Fir Cemetery was the perfect place. In order for photo stitching to work well, everything must hold still or use a tripod. It was raining off and on (typical Portland, so I skipped the tripod and shot quickly. Good thing not much moves in a cemetery. Here's sample of how it turned out.
