The Business Side of Things
This is an aspirational picture. I took it eight days ago. That was the last time we had sun. We’ve had a little over five inches of rain this month, which isn’t a huge amount but it has been r...
There is Hope Yet
I was pretty sure that the holiday decorations for the castle house would be extraordinary, the original folly house up behind where I live, serious up back there, and it wasn’t until I looked ...
The New, the Old and the Wild Man
This is an interesting shot to me. It is through a fence looking back up into the block next to mine. The pile of concrete in the foreground is the lot that has been a toxic cleanup site for ye...
Some Sort of Normal
After I admitted to being a slacker in the last post the sun came out. And my inner pony started prancing around like the true princess of the steppes she is and there was no keeping her inside...
A Slacker, a Huckster and a Narcissist
I am being a total slacker chick this weekend… Well, not a total one, I did walk to the Central Library yesterday afternoon to take the Sandman comic compilations I had out back. I didn’t finis...
Hope and the One Eyed Rascal
This is a spot I know in a front yard across town where the daffodils have been known to show up early, harbingers of moderate temperatures and light. To me this photo I took last Saturday cont...
A New Focus on Energetic Resources
I took this Saturday morning out in the fiercely cold East wind that brought the snow. Even though I had gloves on I was only able to take a few pictures before my hands started going numb. I am...
Still Handsome in the Deep Freeze
Finally a picture of Carlo that does his good looks justice! We are spending a lot of time together, the cats and me, because after we had gorgeous relaxing snow day on Sunday, no surprise, we h...
Hello Snow
This is my birdbath. I bring it in and clean it every morning before I fill it. That is my coat rack to the left and Carlo to the right. The forecast was for “mixed precipitation”. Umm, nothing ...
Harmony, Affection, Friendship
For those of you who have proper winters we must seem like such wimps here but it was cold last night at midnight for the First Run 5K! With a wind that on the Beaufort Wind Scale comes in at a ...
Good Bye to All That
We wanted to get a walk in on Saturday and we decided to walk over to the Pioneer Cemetery and then the adjacent more modern one near Kes and Most Honorable’s house. It is a lovely peaceful plac...
Fast Forward the Flower Clock
This shot so perfectly represents most of the day I spent in the mid Willamette Valley where there was fog and hazy sun and then clouds but no rain! It didn’t rain yesterday either. On the train...
The Christmas Princess Syndrome
Well we broke the record for most rainfall in one month since they started recording rainfall here. It has rained every day this month. Hence the bleak picture. I know, it is Christmas, and it ...
Holiday Sundry
Someone in the neighborhood hung Christmas ornaments from each of the dim light fixtures is the scary curved pedestrian tunnel that is a graffiti magnet and a garland at each end too. It made me...
Beginning To Feel A Lot Like...
May The Force Be With You. :) It rained hard all darn day yesterday. Cold splat in your face you don’t want to be out in that rain. A bunch of the tributaries to our two bigger rivers hit flood ...
On the Other Hand...
It must be a complete accident that Carlo is standing on my MacBook looking at me with concern. I took this a few minutes before I was able to clock out from work this afternoon. He does somethi...
The Pleasures of Reading
I took this out at Sauvie Island on a birding trip this time of year a few years back. It matches the current mood here though there is a rumor that it might not rain tomorrow. It has only been ...
Je Suis Canadian
Have I mentioned it is raining? Man is it raining. I managed to be out in it today and walked six miles without getting anything that mattered wet. Who knew you could operate your phone while i...
Expanded Rain Protocol
We are having WEATHER here. On Monday midday I sort of idiotically chose to walk home from the studio not realizing how hard the wind was blowing the rain. I had on what I call my rain protocol...
A Thousand Crows
Yep. I know this shot I took today of our Central Library is blurry. That is because there is not much light here… even midday. Glare, we have plenty of glare; I’d be happy to share… really. Hey...
Totally Zonked
This is an arrangement in stone in front the artist/historian’s house I was chatting with last week. Everything on his property is artfully arranged. When I was talking to him he was digging out...
Mission Accomplished
Early Sunday I received a text from S. that she still wasn’t feeling up for a walk and said she hoped to see me in my public class Monday. I was disappointed as I was going to meet her at church...
Miss Wo Wo Makes A Stand
It is cold here. There is a heated cat bed wrapped up in that towel. Carlo has made a tent under it. Unlike his brother; Carlo does not have a heavy undercoat. He can hang out there and look out...
Tempus Fugit
This is right next to the Hawthorne Bridge on the beginning of the East bank Esplanade. There is a new fire house and rescue boat launch here but it is also a lively meeting place for skateboard...
Variations on a Sun Theme
Our weather pattern is certainly changing. We have heavy rain for a few days and then we have gorgeous cold days where the low sun comes in under the leaves of the huge historic copper beech up ...
