Spring has sprung here in Portland, and that means when the sun shines you get out and enjoy it - because the rain is not far off!!!

I went adventuring in the trendy neighborhoods of

NW 23rd and N Mississippi.

  

Trees in full bloom...

I have some favorite shops along 23rd. A must see is Zucari, they do not have a website but they are on Facebook. There are the ever popular Potterybarn and Restoration Hardware. Most of the shops are unique and independently owned.

  



 
Somebody even rode in on a         horse...

  
Followed by lunch at Prost!! Great food, beer, and atmosphere. Can't wait to sit in the beer garden this summer...

Best lunch!! , Pâté, apples, and toast...
