I am going back to some of the images I took last December. My husband and I celebrated our 15th anniversary by taking a long evening walk along the riverfront, crossing bridges, walking along streets, the promenade, and taking the MAX. I can't believe I had only edited a couple of images from this set … Continue reading Portland, Oregon Bridges at Night (December 2015)

Misty Spiderwebs Foggy Morning
I wonder if something magical happens on a foggy morning before most people are awake. On Saturday, the fog beckoned me into its mystique. I rushed outside. I had a busy day ahead, but I did not want to miss the fog. The fog was amazing, but what I did not expect to see was … Continue reading Misty Spiderwebs Foggy Morning

Elk Rock Island
There is this island nearby in the Willamette River in Milwaukie/Oak Grove (Oregon) that is only accessible on foot after a long dry spell when a land bridge emerges that allows people to walk across. It is beautiful and creepy. I am not sure what it is that makes it feel spooky to me, but … Continue reading Elk Rock Island

Creativity in the form of photography presently calls to me almost every day and if I have to suppress it for too long, I start to feel like I am dying inside. … Continue reading Early Morn Walk in the Woods

Raindrops and Maple Leaves
The rains in the Pacific Northwest bring with them a stillness. Contemplative, peaceful, and melancholy as the last of the leaves say farewell to their season. The world is going to sleep; into hibernation; into their homes. The children go inside to read, play legos, do their homework, kill time on screens, and argue inside their confinements. Some urban … Continue reading Raindrops and Maple Leaves

Astoria Column in the Fog and the Runaway Child
After photographing the Astoria-Megler Bridge, we drove to the Astoria Column. We had no expectations of a view. The column itself was hidden in a thick fog. There was a grassy hill that looked like it was out of a story book. My youngest tested the waters and explored it a little bit so decided to … Continue reading Astoria Column in the Fog and the Runaway Child

Peter Iredale Shipwreck
In 1906 The four masted steel baroque sailing vessel sailed its last. It was on its way to the Columbia and it got stuck there. No one was killed. It has been sitting there decaying more each year. Soon it will be gone entirely. We arrived just as the tide was moving in. Next time, … Continue reading Peter Iredale Shipwreck
