POD – Through Two Lenses

Buddha through two lenses.  A cool idea I saw today on PetaPixel, so I had to try it.  I will definitely be playing with this idea again. 

POD – Portland

Photo of Downtown Portland taken while on the I5 bridge. I lucked out and got a good one while in the car.

POD – Moo

DJ is always drawing. When we attended her parent-teacher conference, we laughed as we looked through her work samples and found sketches everywhere. Front of the paper, back of the paper, both the front & back – everywhere. There were also her pictures hanging here and there in the classroom. It was funny seeing how…

POD – Clouds Stuck in the Trees

I always love it when it is rainy, and we start climbing into the hills. The clouds literally are hung-up in the trees – you can only see some of the tress at the top through a veil of the rainy haze.  And even as the other clouds roll through, you never see those leave…

POD – Adventures and Thanksgiving

I left an extremely vague comment on Twitter the other night. Saying I was off to see my possible Christmas present. I was deliberately vague because G was letting me in on the gift he wanted to get me.  Ultimately, he wanted it to be what I wanted – not what he did.  Needless to…

PODs – Snow?

Yesterday I went to upload my POD only to find that smugmug was down for maintenance. Bad time to take a site offline, IMO.  But what could I do. So here is yesterday’s and today’s. the moths falling from the sky…or at least that’s what G said they were last night. The snow on the…

POD – Portland Classical Chinese Garden

the closest to snow we got today reflections in the pond bike art near the garden Persimmons  The Scholar’s Courtyard Indigo and I had tea in the teahouse. The pathways are all stones carefully laid in a pattern. Knowing the Fish Pavilion I actually like this story of where it gets its name.  It comes…

POD – Fall, Flora and Ugly Dolls

Leaves clogging up the streets and creating lakes of rainwater.  A common sight in the PNW this time of year. Here are those flowers again. Still don’t know what they are. They are neat though. I was happy there was still some on the trees. Indigo was happy that as a gift, her friend gave…

POD – Fall Flower

My hope is that the wind doesn’t blow these off until I can get back with my camera vs my iPhone. These ‘flowers’ were pretty amazing looking when I stumbled across them yesterday – something I had never seen before. And the colors….well, you’ll just have to take my word for it. Until I can…

POD – Dead Battery Edition

You know, the upside of buying a used camera was the fact the price was perfect. I got a lot of camera for a fraction of the price. The downside? Worn out things. New batteries need to be bought. And now, possibly a new battery charger. I think it’s working again (for some reason), but…
