Temporary...

Have you ever been somewhere for a short time and wanted to stay longer?...I had a one-night stay in Portland this week that had me longing for more time there...

I'm pretty sure it was the setting...and these are just the views from my room...

I stayed at a waterfront property, reserving the least expensive room...one I was told had a courtyard view...

Thank you, RiverPlace, for the lovely surprise...a corner room with expansive perspectives of both water and land...and sash windows that opened fully...letting in the crisp, enlivening air...and making it so I didn't need that pesky polarizing filter (the one I had left at home) to minimize any glare...

My temporary visit has become a promise to return soon...
