Oh wonderful abundance, it is hard to choose which photo to put up. This is a house about two blocks away just after sunrise Sunday. I was going to go to the gym to do my leg presses this eveni...

Photobucket is somewhat operational again so I was able to get this picture and yesterdays up. It is weird because I could see my photo yesterday but apparently none of you could. Something to d...

I took this from the train on Sunday while we were stopped just south of Willamette Falls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willamette_Falls) to let another train pass. That is one of the many plea...

If you have been reading here you will notice something extraordinary about this picture I took yesterday morning. Yes! Not only is it not raining we had blue sky!!! At 9 AM. It is a miracle. I...

This is Spring Break on the Portland State campus on Wednesday night at dusk. I’ve been kind of blue this week in some ways and fine in others. I didn’t have any students show up on Wednesday ...

The trees are coming into full gorgeous bloom under (mostly) sodden skies. It rained and rained and then rained some more yesterday. We are working on three times our average rainfall for March ...

---

This is the area next to the far end of our convention center this morning. When I ran/walked the half marathon the start and finish were here. On Rose Parade day in June all the participants wi...

---

Spring is moving through so fast. It is such a relief to have periods of clearing interspersed with the longer periods of rain. We are all talking about it here. We are edging towards 9 inches o...

---

Will you look at that! The clouds moved back to the edges of the valley today to give us a break from the rain. That is Mt. St. Helen’s out there beyond the crane. I took the long way home from ...

---

It is raining again but yesterday it didn’t. What a difference having a day without rain makes now and then. I am struggling with time management this week. There isn’t enough of it with the ti...

---

Sad but hopeful, this tall daffodil casting a shadow yesterday morning… today we are back to rain and it is supposed to rain all week. At the dental school this morning there was much joking ar...

---

I am so desperate for color in this dark wet gray world that I hope you can forgive me for posting a crocus picture yet again. Don’t tell anyone but today we had some intermittent sun and so far...

---

This is one of my favorite gardens in the neighborhood. Those are tulip leaves there in the pot. Battered and full of glare the daffodils are finally beginning to bloom and although the crocuses...

It is raining and snowing. Sigh. Luckily it isn’t sticking. I was very cautious yesterday about committing myself to being out and about and even though I did use buses judiciously I still ende...

We had a break in the rain yesterday morning for a few hours and under quite changeable skies I was able to get this shot of some decorative trees starting to bloom in an empty parking lot I was...

Okay, so I took this last year at this time. It is so dark and wet out now that even though the trees are beginning to bud it is not possible to get a picture. I saw the yellow of a daffodil hea...

Just in case you didn’t get the memo…we have had almost four times our normal rainfall this month. FOUR TIMES! Record breaking, more rain than has been ever recorded before rain. And, oh, guess...

Hmmm. The new (expertly installed, ha, so says Diego) modem is faster but it is not as stable as the old one. I just had a minor apoplectic moment where I thought I was going to need to go into ...

---

I took this yesterday during a brief break in the rain. They are my favorite crocuses in the neighborhood and they are late coming up this year. We are having an absurd amount of rain. One has t...

This is Cedar Mill Falls in a suburban area near Portland, an upscale suburban neighborhood near Nike and Intel. Mrs. Sherlock asked me in class last night if I wanted to go for a group hike thi...

---

This is a shot of iconic Reed College from Sunday. It is raining hard right now so I am not taking many pictures. I suspect the pink balloons are a hold over from the Women’s March but that is a...

---

Things that make me happy today… It is not raining! The crocuses are finally starting to appear. (I took this yesterday noon.) When I was waiting for the bus after the final concert of the fest...

---

So this is where I spent part of my day yesterday, St. Mary’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The Cathedral was built in this location in 1926 and was fully restored to this more modern ...

---

In the quest for marketing materials I started taking pictures of the new studio. Folks moan and groan about coming downtown at rush hour but they love the studio. But Mrs. Sherlock cut it too s...

---

I took this Saturday in the neighborhood. People are always doing whimsical things like this around here if you look carefully. This is a utility pole next to a bus stop. That is the busy street...
