  1. PORTLAND, OREGON-May 16, 2013—Brian Lacy, of Portland Honeybees, was called in to remove a swarm of honey bees that had settled in on the S.W. Main Street side of the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall Thursday afternoon. The swarm was too high off the ground to reach from below so Lacy lowered a “bee vacuum” from the roof and sucked them up for relocation.  Photo by Randy L. Rasmussen/The Oregonian

  12. Taralyn Thuot wears a bow tie featured in Wildfang’s collection. Last year’s runways and this year’s ready-to-wear shops are built on androgyny. J. Crew’s “boy” shirt for women may be a trend, but the tomboy is as old as time. For Wildfang, an online clothing store whose 30 brands offer masculine-inspired but woman-sized clothes, tomboy is a spectrum — from a preppy type who prefers her boyfriend’s button-downs to the sporty woman looking for a t-shirt. She’s Scout in To Kill a Mocking Bird. Patti Smith on the cover of Horses. Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. Diane Keaton anywhere.  Photo by Beth Nakamura/The Oreognian
