A henna artist in the city of roses

Portland Oregon is my home town. Portland has many fun names but the one we like the best is "The city of roses". We're well known for our award winning roses. I fancy myself a amateur  photographer and walk all around the city invading gardens to take pictures of these silky petaled wonders. Here are a few of my favorite shots. 

I know this last one isn't a rosé, it's actually a tulip. I'm so proud of this one I had to share it.

In my spare time…

In my spare time I like to play photographer. Flowers are my focus but occasionally I step outside of the box and shoot something with more movement. 

No, that sweet cannon isn't mine but I can dream. On Friday June 7th my city hosted one of many fabulous fireworks displays. Unfortunately it was a very short show possibly due to technical issues but I enjoyed it while it lasted. Here are a few shots I took with my phone.
