every year come september, I start to get excited for winter and christmas in the pacific northwest. strolling in downtown portland, dropping into the always lovely benson hotel for a spiced cider and a little tree-gazing...

then heading down to the pearl district, where it seems that the lights on the street trees twinkle the brightest.
