I may be posting sporatically as my beloved is now in hospice care.

New Life

This nest was too high for me to see inside. Not sure what bird builds this shape of nest. Abe probably knows. And it was in the Walmart parking lot.

Street Art

2009-03-26T03:51:00.000-07:00

Love this bit of street art. I think it's of an early 1950's Ford Thunderbird coupe. It adorns the west side of an historic building on Front St. facing Riverfront park.

Fish Tale

Sign at McGrath's Fish House. I can't promise that this is true. But they are very tasty.

Yesterday you saw the inside, and here she is in all her beauty.

Not sure what is planted here, but love the pattern.

Hi Neighbor

A visitor coming to our house said they thought they saw camels on the way! Yes, indeed, there are several living down the road.

It is spring. And it is the Northwest.

Metro Wannabe

The City Daily Photo blogs of NYC, Stockholm, Budapest, London and Paris share an unofficial theme day of "subways' the 15th of each month. Their underground systems are interesting and frequently lavished with artwork. Salem has no subway, but I thought I'd add this nice shot of Chemeketa St. as it passes through the underground parking structure beneath the Capitol Mall greenspace, just north of the Capitol. Two-level parking is on either side.

Well Woes

2009-03-11T06:00:00.000-07:00

Waking up to no water is NO fun. Dropping three grand down a 250'+ hole isn't either. But new pump, new pipe and plenty of water is good. I can highly recommend Oregon Pump & Equipment. They showed up about an hour after I called. Returned quickly with the boom truck and worked until dark to restore water for us. Mike and his son Jake conduct business honestly, thoroughly, and caringly.

Historic Deepwood House

In the front parlor of Deepwood house, this is a good example of the Povey Brothers stained glass and eastern golden oak used throughout the house.
