This is one of my favorite events in the summer. More low key than the Waterfront Blues Festival and in the very cool--that's gentrification speak for slightly "seedier"--St. John neighborhood, the Cathedral Park Jazz Festival is a reminder that summer is the perfect opportunity to lounge lazily in the grass, with ice cream cone in hand and sunshine lingering gingerly over your limbs.
We did exactly that this Sunday, among a small group of people who swayed quietly and in unison to the sweet cacaphony of the trumpet.
The Devotte Shirleys were a welcome companion that day.
Brightly-colored umbrellas dotted the horizon.
One of the best things about going to St. John is crossing the St. John Bridge, one of my favorite bridges in Portland.
