when you're standing amongst a circle of tall trees and look up.

The crook in this old tree formed
a perfect frame for the view beyond.

winding road
Prime Meridian and I decided the
holiday weekend called for a road trip, so we took the the scenic route almost
completely around Mt. Hood. The days to come will feature many pictures
from that trip.

07.04.05
doe
We came upon a doe and her fawn
crossing the road on our drive. They bounded into the woods, but we managed to
snap a pic of them before they disappeared.

This becomes a wide, rough river
during the spring runoff. The rocks are all carried off Mt. Hood, several miles

There's something kind of noble
and proud about this lone tree trunk still standing upright.

geological survey
This can be found on the grounds
of the Columbia Gorge Hotel.
Amusingly, it says there's a $250 fine for disturbing the marker.

anniversary
If you want to really celebrate a
big important occasion properly, I highly recommend
McCormick & Schmick's. They go out of their way to make it special.

threesome
This threesome was so darling. I
wondered...a brother and his sisters? Cousins? Or is he a real ladies' man?
|

Romantic dining for two at one of
the best seafood restaurants in town.

I just love how the sunlight was shining down the streets like a
canyon, the buildings like rock faces. |

The Salvation Army Harbor Light does good work. Help them if you can. |

This painting hangs in the dining
room at McCormick & Schmick's and considering the subject material, of course I
had to snap a pic.

Colorful patio umbrellas at the

More of our living room. We spent

The New Market building used to
house an opera house, a theater, produce stalls, and was the original launching

The
US
Bancorp Tower, which is where I first worked when we moved to Portland. On
the 15th floor, to be exact. I was up there during the February 2001 earthquake.
Not good times.
