Visual Feasts
In my journeys through the blogosphere, I've come across many visually stunning sites. Two of my favorites, which are deliciously rich in imagery are My Marrakesh by Maryam, an American expat living in Morocco and Keeper of the Chocolates by Shelbi, an artist/craftswoman.

I thought this brief post needed a good visual. Although not related to the above-mentioned blogs, I thought I would share this photo I took at a hotel in Portland. I had shown some kindness to one of the members of the cleaning staff, and she reciprocated by leaving this flower and a note. So thoughtful!

















Good question! It's Portland, OR.

Is this Portland, Maine? Or ... Portland, Oregon?
