lovely autumn, and vegas fun

I really love Portland this time of year, especially on the dry days. This first shot is during a morning walk with Gavin in our neighborhood, and the second is when I pulled over on our way to downtown and passed this view of NW Portland.







Last month, Paul had a week-long conference in Vegas, so I flew down with him the weekend before to relax in the sunshine with him. Gavin stayed at home with my mom, so that made it extra relaxing. :) I can't seem to figure out how to take night-time shots with my stupid camera, but here we are enjoying the Venetian.
