My husband passed peacefully June 9.

Taking a Break

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

Salem in Bloom

Clock Tower

Clock tower on Willamette University campus alongside the Mark O. Hatfield Library (former governor, state and U.S. Senator).

Doorway

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.

Skywatch Friday

To see skies from all over the world -- visit Skywatch Friday.

Street Art

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.

Lovebirds

Light and Shadow

Hannah Bridge

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

Under Cover

Hannah Bridge, on a sunny September day. Built in 1936 spanning Thomas Creek, east of Salem toward Scio.

Skywatch Friday

The neighboring trees--you can see the broken off branches from last December's ice storm.

Green Fields

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.

I'll wait in the car

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.
