picking thru that PB file

 I think these pictures that I have uploaded to Photobucket lately are pretty good.

One my friend took in Westmoreland Park:

In March, just before all the blooms burst forth on these trees.

I took this one with my friend’s camera:

At full size, this is awful purty.

*

*

*

The vapor blown out of the holes in the rocks catches the sunlight:

But, ya know, there’s just nothing like being there – it was pretty darn scenic in person.

*

*

*

My shot of the same thing:

*

*

*

T’was a good day on the coast:

*

*

*

*

*

*

 

 But, someone told me, there are no bad days on the coast.

*

*

*

I don’t think there are any bad days in the Gorge either:

Benson Bridge, between the upper and lower Multnomah Falls.

*

*

*

No, no bad days in the Columbia Gorge…

Crater Lake, southern Oregon:

Framed in a blond wood wood frame, on a matte, this 8.5 x11 picture looks very good at my friend’s house

*

*

Some pictures on my camera are just mistakes:

Yeah, I didn’t MEAN to take this picture, but I kinda like the way it turned out.

(that’s my car, by the way)

*

*

*

It’s less than two hour’s drive away…

The full-size recreation of Stonehenge III, in Maryhill, Washington.

*

*

*

*

*

*

Ya know, I’d a never thought about making a purse out of a gourd…

But someone at the Portland Saturday Market did, and my friend from Japan took it home with her.

It was, she said, a real conversation starter in Japan, beginning at Customs there.

Life is a state of mind;

*

*

*

and it’s all in how you look at it.
