Sustainable Photography: Colonel Summers Community Garden
Another Community Garden has begun turning the soil and planting the seeds!
It’s the beginning of the growing season and the community has started to prepare their piece of the garden at Colonel Summers Community Park located at SE 17th Ave & Taylor St, Portland, Oregon.

Vines!
I couldn’t help but stop and photograph the vines that have completely covered the corner of 28th & SE Ash Street.
The Side Street Gallery is located on a small side street a couple blocks from East Burnside.
“Portland’s great location for all that is creative, kooky, creepy, and cool!”

Portland has the most amazing hidden green roofs that I have seen. Standing on the Lovejoy Building you can view a verity of eco-roofs. Here was my view. This inspires me to consider growing green on my future home!

Filmed by Bike 2012
2012 marked the 10th anniversary of Filmed by Bike, a festival of bike-themed short films. I got to enjoy a 6-mile bike ride to attend the “Best of the Best!” during their last showing this past Wednesday at the historic Clinton Theater. They showcased ‘Filmed by Bike’s’ top favorites from the last ten festivals. What a great sustainable group of people.
May we all learn to take the training wheels off.
