One from the archives, taken on a rather cloudy morning on the Portland coast. I didn't like it to start with but it's growing on me.
Let me know what you think, all constructive criticism welcome.

I asked permission to take photos in almost all cases, and in all photos where I was aware of a child in the photo, I asked permission to take the photo and post here.
I did not ask permission for many group photos, where poses were being done for
photos, assuming that taking those photos was implied okay. If you have any questions please message me through my Flickr page. Thank you!
Some times I include photos of both front and back because often times cosplayers have created something elaborate on the back side - and they never get to see what it looks like!

• I had breakfast this morning in the hotel's dining room, overlooking their garden, a very pleasant way to start the day.
• Chef's Omelette: 3 eggs, breakfast potatoes, buttered toast, local jam; choice of three fillings (cheddar, sausage, mushrooms). Delicious, well-prepared, nicely presented.
Sunshine and pretty leaves are what greeted you all during most of the day at Portland Audubon Society. Even with that early sunshine, you all were motivated enough to come learn the ropes about how lead tree planters with Friends of Trees. You all were awesome at this training from the planting demo, the classroom portion, and jumping into our EDI activity! We hope that you learned at least one new fact about how to plant or manage a team of folks and hope to see all you beautiful Crew Leaders at future events...
HUGE HUGE KUDOS to our 2019 Green Space Crew Leader team!
