Snow at Lan Su

Portland experienced its once every year or so snow dusting Friday. A beautiful morning of white that vanished quickly. But while it was here magic was everywhere.

Visions of Alfred Hitchcock

So many birds, it must be a remake of The Birds.

Those Cranes in the background are almost as noisy as these Starlings!!!

Fremont Bridge Reflected


A beautiful morning on the Willamette River this morning. Not only wasn't there any wind but there also weren't any boats racing up and down to disturb the reflection.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Not quite my 2000 S2000 but nearly as good. Here is a 2005 parked in North Carolina on its way to Las Vegas, Nevada. Left it there ... hopefully I'll be allowed to drive it again!

Trees in Portland

On my run

Since it's winter here in Portland, I've seen any number of images from others of solitary trees silhouetted against the sky. Most of these have been set out in some field or other open space far from the center of town. On my run the other day I came across these two trees and thought to myself ~ two solitary trees! More or less a city version of the country favorites!!!!

Amsterdam

from the archives ...
The hand life has dealt for today means staying close to home ~ the benefit though is a trip through the archives!

Sinking Boat

Some of us have boats that are in great shape, others not so much. In this case it's as if the owner of the boat has parked the old car beside the garage and it now has two flat tires, needs a paint job and is growing moss on the north side!

Canal Boat

We walked by this boat and reflection in September while visiting Amsterdam!

Dining out in Amsterdam

Off the beaten track, but Hogeweg is definitely worth the trip. Marvelous food in an intimate neighborhood setting in Amsterdam!!!! We ate there twice in September 2012.

Floating

This koi seems to be floating in both time and space as well as the water. We saw him early in 2012 in Seattle!

Pearl Bakery ~ Early Morning

Morning Hawk

Breakfast at Fuller's and then a walk home past Pearl Bakery was when we saw this fellow who evoked memories of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks

Channeling Monet

Ankeny Plaza

Ankeny Plaza

On weekends during most of the year this area is the site of Portland's Saturday Market and is filled with people. Being New Years Day and the middle of the week, it was empty and gives the impression of time past.
