In December 2015, I was lucky enough to attend an instameet with some great Italian instagrammers —yay!— led by Lorenzo Cinotti…

The Portland Instagram Group held a fun instameet at the Lan Su Chinese Garden , a great little oasis of calm in the hustle-bustle of Old Town Portland. It had been foggy and drizzly all morning, but when we gathered the sun came out and it was lovely.  Here are some unedited snapshots...

Just before Halloween 2016, the Portland Instagram group had a fun little instameet at Fir Point Farms in Aurora, Oregon. Pumpkins were everywhere of course, but so were goats and bunnies and horses and donkeys... plus games like Cornhole and badminton. We feasted on ice cream, donuts, freshly pressed cider. Probably the most fun though was the corn maze -- so beautiful...

We in the Portland Instagram group had an instameet today at the Swan Island Dahlia Festival in Canby, Oregon. There we saw thousands of gorgeous dahlias in the blazing summer sun. 

On an unexpectedly clear June evening, some friends met via Instagram and I did a photowalk — aka Instameet — around downtown and Old Town Portland.
