Have I mentioned that it is raining? We did have a couple of days that were mostly dry and we even had a little partial clearing but like a depressive fog that comes upon the body this cold da...

This is the left side of one of the rainbows I saw walking with S on Friday afternoon along the riverfront. I posted the right side shot up on Facebook. The sky was that glowering green gray ...

---

Although it may seem like I am sitting quietly at my desk on this rainy cold day clicking on things, working, my mind is roving hither and yon… Thinking about poetry, a line from the Portland f...

---

After an unexpectedly beautiful (mostly) dry day yesterday we are back to rain land today. This is the third attempt at a shot of the four “bubbler” fountain over on the start of the Eastside E...

---

I took this yesterday morning with my phone during a small break in the rain. It is all there, the water beads on the wild grass and moss, the glare from the heavy cloud cover and the hopeful s...

---

Today was the first in twelve days where we had enough of a break in the rain to actually see the sun for oh, maybe, two hours… but they were glorious hours. We are of course aware of the big s...

---

This is an aspirational picture. I took it eight days ago. That was the last time we had sun. We’ve had a little over five inches of rain this month, which isn’t a huge amount but it has been r...

---

I was pretty sure that the holiday decorations for the castle house would be extraordinary, the original folly house up behind where I live, serious up back there, and it wasn’t until I looked ...

---

This is an interesting shot to me. It is through a fence looking back up into the block next to mine. The pile of concrete in the foreground is the lot that has been a toxic cleanup site for ye...

---

After I admitted to being a slacker in the last post the sun came out. And my inner pony started prancing around like the true princess of the steppes she is and there was no keeping her inside...

---

I am being a total slacker chick this weekend… Well, not a total one, I did walk to the Central Library yesterday afternoon to take the Sandman comic compilations I had out back. I didn’t finis...

---

This is a spot I know in a front yard across town where the daffodils have been known to show up early, harbingers of moderate temperatures and light. To me this photo I took last Saturday cont...

---

I took this Saturday morning out in the fiercely cold East wind that brought the snow. Even though I had gloves on I was only able to take a few pictures before my hands started going numb. I am...

---

Finally a picture of Carlo that does his good looks justice! We are spending a lot of time together, the cats and me, because after we had gorgeous relaxing snow day on Sunday, no surprise, we h...

---

This is my birdbath. I bring it in and clean it every morning before I fill it. That is my coat rack to the left and Carlo to the right. The forecast was for “mixed precipitation”. Umm, nothing ...

---

For those of you who have proper winters we must seem like such wimps here but it was cold last night at midnight for the First Run 5K! With a wind that on the Beaufort Wind Scale comes in at a ...

---

We wanted to get a walk in on Saturday and we decided to walk over to the Pioneer Cemetery and then the adjacent more modern one near Kes and Most Honorable’s house. It is a lovely peaceful plac...

---

This shot so perfectly represents most of the day I spent in the mid Willamette Valley where there was fog and hazy sun and then clouds but no rain! It didn’t rain yesterday either. On the train...

---

Well we broke the record for most rainfall in one month since they started recording rainfall here. It has rained every day this month. Hence the bleak picture. I know, it is Christmas, and it ...

---

Someone in the neighborhood hung Christmas ornaments from each of the dim light fixtures is the scary curved pedestrian tunnel that is a graffiti magnet and a garland at each end too. It made me...

---

May The Force Be With You. :) It rained hard all darn day yesterday. Cold splat in your face you don’t want to be out in that rain. A bunch of the tributaries to our two bigger rivers hit flood ...

---

It must be a complete accident that Carlo is standing on my MacBook looking at me with concern. I took this a few minutes before I was able to clock out from work this afternoon. He does somethi...

---

I took this out at Sauvie Island on a birding trip this time of year a few years back. It matches the current mood here though there is a rumor that it might not rain tomorrow. It has only been ...

---

Have I mentioned it is raining? Man is it raining. I managed to be out in it today and walked six miles without getting anything that mattered wet. Who knew you could operate your phone while i...

---

We are having WEATHER here. On Monday midday I sort of idiotically chose to walk home from the studio not realizing how hard the wind was blowing the rain. I had on what I call my rain protocol...
