Years ago, a local music store started a campaign to “Keep Portland Weird”. They sold bumper stickers and put up a sign outside on their building making that same plea. Keep it weird. Don’t let it go yuppie or DINK (double income no kids). During this time, a section of Portland was being rebuilt into…

THEME3-65 and My POD – Bare
Before I get my picture of the day (POD), I have noticed a lot of people starting the 365 day project this year. It is a great challenge – and one that has taught me a lot over the past two years I have participated. One of the things I know I been challenged within…
POD – Lights
The steam engine at the Oregon Zoo Lights. Love the steam. The path between areas…..love the glow. (and the most you will see of G and my girls) Another picture of the steam engine. They had the Portland sign on at the Oregon Symphony. I was sad it wasn’t darker. But I love that sign…
POD – Christmas Images
the Hotel Coronado ornament G and the girls brought back. the tree at the hotel this year is gorgeous according to the girls. The top of some of the buildings in downtown have lights in the shape of trees. I liked how it was reflecting off of the buildings. Look at the way the lights…

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 – 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 – 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…
