You know I love trains, all kinds, including monorails. So naturally, when I got to Seattle, I had to ride the monorail that stops right next to the Space Needle. This is a view of the interior after everyone else got off at the end of the line. (I stayed on for the return trip.) [...]

Roses Before and After
Portland calls itself “The City of Roses,” and there are roses everywhere, nearly year round. I found this cluster in a parking lot down by the river. I love the contrast of the green buds and the peachy-pink blossoms. Peachy-pink. Hmmm. What would you call this color? Enjoy! xox PS Portland has lots of other [...]
Pickin’ an Old-Time Tune
One delightful evening not too long ago, a couple of friends sat around playing and singing some old-time tunes like “Ookpik Waltz,” “My Own Kind of Hat” and (my favorite) “I Loved You Better than You Knew.” They were very, very good. I don’t play or sing, so I listened, enjoyed, and took pictures. This [...]
Autumn Maple Leaves
I’m jumping the gun a bit with this photo of maple leaves in autumn. Maybe I’m starting to long for cooler, crisper days. Are you? Enjoy! xox PS Prints are available at my print site.
Pink Cosmos
You know how some artists go through a blue period? Well for me, it’s a pink period. And it’s been going on for years. I just love the color. I just bought a new compact camera to live in my purse. I bought the one with the highest ratings, a Canon PowerShot S90IS, but I [...]

I think it helps to emphasize Clark’s beautiful face and fur. I also love the faint reflections on the wood trim. [...]
Clay Sunbathers
Portland Saturday Market is an amazing place, with everything from high-end art to cheap-o imported doodads. It’s fun to shop and eat there, but it’s just as fun to people and dog watch. I don’t go nearly often as I’d like. (Hint to my daughter.) I caught sight of display of clay life masks on [...]
Am I Blue?
I captured this macro of a blue hydrangea at the Japanese Gardens in Portland, OR. I hope you like it. It’s available as a print or card on my print site. Enjoy! xox
