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.

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

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.
