Unleaded

This is the gas station in Orleans.

I have put this gas station in many, many stories. In those stories, the guy who owns it is named Emerson.

I don’t think any of those stories have been published.

One of these days.

Chestnut

Posted on November 18, 2021 by Pamela

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

Posted on November 17, 2021 by Pamela

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

Posted on November 16, 2021 by Pamela

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

Posted on November 15, 2021 by Pamela

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.

9874 / 17000 words. 58% done!

Mt. Rainier

Posted on November 13, 2021 by Pamela

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.
