Chestnut

We wandered around under the chestnut tree when I was in California. I took this photo of finding this gorgeous chestnut. I planned to take another when we got home so I could show you the Hope Diamond of chestnuts, but I forgot.

Pioneer Square

This is downtown Portland at Pioneer Square.

Back at the beginning of the year when people were first starting to come back downtown, I was one of the few customers at my favorite food cart.

In the summer there was a long, long line.

I was back a couple of weeks ago and it was just me and another guy, waiting in the rain.

Pumpkin Crop

I finally remembered to get all the squash and pumpkins together and take a photo.

This is quite a crop. At least three of those by themselves would be plenty to get us through the season.

Yet still, I mourned for a couple I had to compost already because they got a little rotten. So greedy.

Outside My Window

Sound on!

This frog hangs out somewhere around the house and is so loud – it cracks me up every time it gets going.

Isn’t this how frogs look for a mate? How can I help this little guy out?

Struwwelpeter

Count me and my sister in with the children traumatized by tales from Der Struwwelpeter. Behave kids!

This statue is in Frankfurt.

Mt. Rainier

I don’t know why I keep wanting to spell it Raineer.

We haven’t been able to do our summer trip to Seattle in a couple of years. This is from an early morning ferry. So quiet and peaceful.

Steak & Eggs

This is from a trip to Reno a few years ago. Too bad I cut off the top of that sign and took a blurry shot. I’m sure I was using my super effective, snap as you walk photo technique.

Taccos

This photo is from the train station in Bad Kissingen. I did not try these delicious Euro-chips. Looking back, I am sorry I missed out.
