This is close up detail on the house that was moved and restored to the place where the Psychedelic Supermarket was, I found out that the original store that became the local forward thinking ch...

---

This is the upper stairway for the VA Steps. All 145 of them. It is this grand stairway through a forested hill with this split into two circular stairs (one of which I show here that ends in… y...

---

This house is on a steep hill and the fence is built at that angle. This is one view of a very nice yard sculpture. The folks that literally live above me can afford to buy art and they do. Ther...

---

So for those of you who don’t have raccoons here is a not very good picture of my intruder the other morning. For those of you all too familiar with their wily ways you can admire the greenery i...

---

I took this last Sunday on my walk. I thought the buttery roses were pretty, plain and simple. If the wind is blowing the right way it smells like roses out there. There was a huge evening cele...

---

I have heard a couple of things about these public stairs I took this picture of Sunday morning. There are 203 of them. One story is that at one point there was a street here but it was too stee...

---

This morning, because I could, I grabbed my camera and went in search of easy access to “The Elevator Stairs”. I tried to follow the route that S. and I took last month from the top of them up ...

I picked up my antibiotics last night. I have to take them for 17 days starting next Thursday and am not allowed to drink alcohol for the duration including a few days before and after. I am gla...

I shot this because I thought the composition of the yard and the dappled light were nice. After putting up picture after picture of pretty flowers over on Facebook the other day I put up a pict...

---

Wow, I feel like I have been away on a journey. My yoga teacher Olga’s teacher Gary Kraftsow was in town over the weekend on pretty short notice. The workshop information was quite confusing an...

---

I am still seeing flowers when I close my eyes. We had a most spectacular day on Saturday here, it wasn’t only warm out, it actually got hot, 83°F (28.3°C). S. and I had planned a long walk on T...

---

When I close my eyes I see flowers. I have spent hours over the last few weeks wandering around with some sort of camera (phone, iPad, actual camera camera) reveling in irises and the roses comi...

---

I think this was this morning, when we had a little sun break between the rain squalls that make everything so luscious and green here. Diego hanging out near me in the bedroom while I work. Lat...

---

Just for a change I thought I’d share a glary peony. Is it too self centered to say I love the composition here? The colors and the bee. Although the cold wind continued yesterday morning by mi...

---

I apologize for all the iris pictures lately but it is a banner year for them here and I am enthralled. I was talking to Kes last night and she was telling me that one of her knitting teachers ...

---

My camera is what, something like four years old now, and my laptop is five and between the two of them posting pictures to Instagram is a bit of a challenge. But I figured out I can do it using...

---

If you look closely you can see part of a rainbow here. It is hard to believe that it was exactly a week ago that I was headed off to our holiday at the beach. After the first day the jellyfish ...

---

Practice makes for efficiency. We’ve been indulging in these twice yearly getaways to the Oregon coast now for long enough that we are getting pretty good at the whole logistical part of the ent...

---

Yesterday morning after I took the bus train to Salem I talked Kes into a short walk around the neighborhood. She asked me to take a picture of this fabulous array of color and spring exuberance...

---

I want to make friends with the people that live here so I can go hang out in their yard. :) Finally the results of my uncomfortable Ultrasound came back and the exceedingly good news is that t...

---

On Friday after work S. came over and picked me up (I felt a little like a princess getting a ride) and we went back over to her part of town where she, (and her cheerful standard poodle Frieda)...

---

This is the house up in the affluent neighborhood above me that had all the pretty Easter decorations including the giant chocolate bunny. I mentioned the giant edible Leporidae in my public yog...
