Seeing pink in Portland.

One of several things that I miss about living in Northwest Portland's Alphabet District--seeing the color pink in the spring. Pink-petal-blanketed sidewalks, streets, and vehicles. Saw this nostalgic sight after the AHC Walking Tour NW Sacred Spaces on Sunday, April 21. I'm headed to West Burnside to catch a bus home to NE Portland. Those folks ahead are some who were on the walking tour. Looks like they are still walking, looking, and talking. We had a great time--thanks Architectural Heritage Center.

Merry Christmas--via my little Mama--December 25, 2007

Without a doubt, my Mama gave it her all for me and my camera, readily stepping up whenever I asked to take her photo.

Here she is, first standing in the protection afforded by the porch at our apartment building in NW Portland, face glowing, her smile spread all the way to her eyes. Second, she's completely bundled up, posing just outside the porch, snow spitting around her. In the third photo, I've walked down to the street to get a shot of her from that persepctive. Even more snow's coming down, and she's ready to go, leg cocked to start her walk down the steps, just as soon as she hears from my sons. They were driving over to get us because our celebration was to be at a friend's home this particular Christmas. She's got her cell phone at the ready, gripped in her right hand. Seems to me that they drove up right after I took this photo.

We enjoyed our Christmas very much. I hope that you enjoy yours today. I appreciate getting to share my little Mama with you again. I miss her very much, every single day, so it means a lot to me to include her here at momentous times like this. Thank you.
