Portland

Jen and I spent a few days on the west coast earlier this month. This first fuzzy shot is from the plane. I'm pretty sure that the taller mountain on the right is Mt. Hood, but his little friend remains anyonymous.


This is where the light rail dropped us off from the airport. I'm not sure what it is, but there were pretty, shiny lights.


More lights. We landed at 7:30, but of course that was 10:30 to us and we hadn't eaten in eight hours. This was outside the nifty pub we found. I had raspberry beer. The wonders of Oregon.


Tomorrow: Oregon in the daytime!

A Place in the Woods

Jen and I spent a Sunday in Walden Pond a couple weeks ago.

A single, small tree shows impatience at the coming autumn.


Waxing artistic, I contemplate the value of nature beneath my pinwheel umbrella.

Cliff Jumping

After taking August off, (we're European, right?) the blog returns. This took me way longer than it should have, but now that I've figured out some of the basics, perhaps I can come up with something more clever.
