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 – 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 – 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…

POD – A Walk in the Park

Portland is like the land of 1000 parks within city limits. Okay, maybe not that many but green space in a city that is constantly redeveloping itself is always given a priority.  The pics are taken from two different parks – the main shots are taken in a downtown park filled with amazing ginkgo trees….

POD – Uhauls, Fall and Pumpkins

LOVE this sign. Made G drive around the block so I could get it.  For those who don’t understand the joke, it has to do with what is the lesbian’s second date – moving in together. My pumpkins. The upside down one was top heavy and wouldn’t stay right-side up. I liked it better that…

POD – BRAAINS!!!

Today was Portland’s Zombie Walk. I took over 300 pics of it.  My oldest walked away declaring she was no longer going to be a zombie for Halloween – but a zombie hunter. Then she came home and gathered together the various Nerf guns for her costume. She’s got plans. The funniest part of the…

POD – Autumn Day

Soccer on a early Saturday morning. And a bright one too. Cup of coffee in my hand – child who stole my jacket because she was “too cold” and forgot her own – and getting all of the parental gossip. Love how everything is changing now.

POD – Art & New Gadget

Is the teacher sucking the ideas out of the kids’ heads, or putting ideas into their heads? This his an age old question in our house. I love this painting that is on a hidden door at a pub we got to that has a movie theater. Reminded me of the witch in Snow White….

POD – October Sunset

I had great visions of taking fall pictures today after work. The sun was shining. The sky was blue.  Hell, I even got out of work on time. Just in time to find my battery was dead in my camera. I tossed it into the charger, went to the store, and came back to grab…
