Seen on the streets of Portland: Ford Pickup Truck
Anyone know the year of this beauty? I'm guessing some time in the 1950s.
I fooled with the color at Picnik, trying to get it to look a bit like a vintage postcard. Then I put the frame around it. Had fun. Hope you enjoy the photo that I took on SE Morrison on March 20, 2010.

Can I interest you in a cut or a shave?
Bart's Barbershop, 518 SE Morrison, ground floor of the Weatherly Building.
I boosted the color about 40% at Picnick. Made it all more vibrant.

Surprise Snow, December 29, 2009
The traffic waits at the intersection of SE Grand and SE Morrison. The snow falls as it had been doing since mid-afternoon. Rain had been predicted, but as I understood it from hearing something on the radio, frigid wind blew in from the east, right through the Columbia River Gorge and into Portland and other nearby areas.
Silly me--I had paid attention to the morning weather report. I had my umbrella; I left my YakTrax at home! This time of year I always wear two coats, the outer one a water-repellant coat, the inner one a fleece jacket. Thank goodness it was a wet snow and that few people had walked the sidewalk between my building and this bus stop. I could avoid compacted, slippery looking snow very easily. However, I did not feel safe enough to go to the Hollywood Theater for Charles Phoenix's Retro Holiday Slide Show. I lost the $15 I had paid for the ticket, but I didn't slide down. Ha, ha--that's sort of a pun! A little over two and a half hours after I took this photo, I walked into the apartment thanks to the skillful, determined man driving the #15 bus.
More surprise snow photos tomorrow!

Looking in Lady Luck Tatoo Studio
Saturday I walked from the bus stop at the corner of SE 7th and SE Belmont over to the Architectural Heritage Center. I had signed up for a lecture, "Writing Local History." On the way this business caught my eye. Lady Luck Tatoo is at 523 SE Morrison Street.
Do you have a tatoo? Tatoos? Or is it tatooes? I'm not taking time to look it up, sorry. I'm having too much fun looking at both ways! If you have more than one, what's your favorite? Is it OK to have a favorite one? I mean, they're on your body, shouldn't all of them be your favorite?
I don't have a tatoo, yet.
