Stomping 'Round Stumptown: October 2008
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 20, 2008. Sellwood Riverside Park looking north to downtown Portland up the Willamette River. My reading tree at Gabriel Park. Gabriel Park Community Garden. Lake Oswego Public Library. I spend a lot of time here on the internet and renting free DVDs. Tryon Creek State Park. This fairy-tale forest is only 1.5 miles from my house and has lots of winding trails. It also has a nature trail that has rotating art installations. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Stomping 'Round Stumptown: March 2009
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 12, 2009. Turning 30 is Sunny and Bright. Because this was such a notable birthday, I decided that I should get out of town and commemorate the occasion in grand style. Going back to Phoenix was the logical choice, considering it was about 40 degrees warmer and I have loved-ones there to celebrate with. Of course, when I arrived, a visit to Cherry Blossom Noodle Cafe was inevitable. Eating mountains of sushi with my parents was just the homecoming I was hoping for. Flying back to Portland...

Stomping 'Round Stumptown: Sauvie Island
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2009/06/sauvie-island.html
Monday, June 22, 2009. Just a short 20-minute drive in North Portland is a rural riparian area called Sauvie Island. It’s a small stretch of land surrounded by rivers, known for its agriculture and wildlife. One side of the “island” is bordered by the Multnomah Channel, which hosts a village of house boats, and the other side is bordered by the Columbia River, which has pleasant sandy beaches. I took a walk around one of the small lakes on the inner part of the island, and then went strawberry picking.

Stomping 'Round Stumptown: November 2008
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 2, 2008. The Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood. I started by traveling along the Columbia River through the Gorge. The river borders the north side of Portland, across which you can see the state of Washington. As you wander out of town, there are several vistas where you can enjoy the view. Then I turned away from the Gorge and headed south toward Mt. Hood. I traversed farmlands and orchards and enjoyed the warm fall day, although the leaves weren't really changing color yet. View my co...

Stomping 'Round Stumptown: Vernal Outing
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2009/04/vernal-outing.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. Later that day I visited a tulip farm nearby to witness their annual festival. I was surrounded by fields bursting with color. There were vibrant kaleidoscopic layers of flowers being admired by crowds of people. I also appreciated all of the Dutch cultural references. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

There were vibrant kaleidoscopic layers of flowers being admired by crowds of people. I also appreciated all of the Dutch cultural references. Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Then, VERY early in the morning I decided to go for a drive. I watched the sunrise over the Columbia River Gorge in the silence of dawn. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Annie and Taylor Vos.

Stomping 'Round Stumptown: August 2008
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 28, 2008. So, here I am embarking on a new adventure all by myself. I moved to Portland about two and a half months ago, and I already feel like it’s home. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still excitedly exploring everything, and each day I find new things that are novel and provocative, but I already feel like Portland is just the right fit for me. The main house (with my apartment in the back) . View of my apartment above the garage down the driveway . The back of the main house. I got a job w...

Stomping 'Round Stumptown: Share-it Square
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2009/07/share-it-square.html
Sunday, July 5, 2009. Portland is known for its quirkiness. That’s a lot of the reason why I moved here. It’s also all about its little inclusive neighborhoods. In fact, Portlanders usually identify themselves by which neighborhood they live in. The city is so bike and pedestrian friendly, that people don’t often wander far from home, therefore Portland has a lot of community spirit. There’s a book stand where you can take a book or leave a book. There’s a children’s play area. Stumptown" is a nickname f...

Stomping 'Round Stumptown: Tide Pools
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2009/06/tide-pools.html
Thursday, June 25, 2009. I’d never seen tide pools before, and I loved seeing such bright strange critters up close in their natural environment. As I walked around I heard sucking and squishing sounds coming from everywhere. Rocks along the shore that are never usually exposed revealed little caves. It was like some kind of strange alien world. Green Sea Anemone and Iridescent Seaweed. Hiding Crab Amidst Mussels and Barnacles. August 14, 2009 at 3:17 PM. Keep up the fabulous posts! This is a Flickr badg...

Stomping 'Round Stumptown: September 2008
http://miriam-phx2pdx.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2008. Singing and the Art Happening. 8220;Without music, life would be a mistake.” -Friedrich Nietzsche. What’s a girl to do alone in a new city? 8220;This is it! Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? We performed both opening and closing nights of the festival at a nightclub-type space called The Works. The building, called the Leftbank Project, is an industrial building converted into a venue for T:BA:08, and soon to be a community gathering spot. Photograph by Gordon Wilson. Let me take ...
