Noticer of things. Playing an infinite sum game. My roots are in New York City, my bloom in Cascadia.

So tired.
Can I sleep in the stones
And be born with new green?
Shedding the bones of my memory
And sorrow.
Oh how I wish I could drop my dead leaves with such beauty.

Rainier, Adams, and the Hood River welcome us back to Cascadia. Blessings.

Took my dad to go vote today. I miss #NYC. You’ve got this.
My dad heads to the polls. nYC has the best #IVoted stickers! I tried to get this actual pigeon to pose but they only wanted crumbs.

This guy has been in my yard for much longer than it has been my yard. Brilliantly on fire this year and ready to take on the dark season. October, 2025

Meeting place #scape
The River, flatlands, cliffs, sky and human dance together for a perfect afternoon. October 2025, view south across the Columbia to Oregon.

Beacon Rock as Seen from little Beacon Rock, in the Columbia Gorge in Washington. The glare was unintentional but I like the effect. October, 2025

October dahlia does not fear the season to come #bloomscrolling
So much joy on a cool and damp October morning in the garden. I salute those who bloom no matter what the world does.

#UrbanGaze #Portland
On a tiny side street with one of the best views in Southwest Portland, a retaining wall has gotten some new colors on it.

This public service announcement is brought to you for #TrailTuesday #PortlandHikers
Also note that in Skamania County, where this sign is posted, it is against the law to harm a Bigfoot. So don’t. October 2025, on the trail from Bonneville Hot Springs to Greenleaf Falls.

I may never be able to get up again, actually…
It will have been a life only half lived, unfortunately.

I had promised myself that I’d get up and start closing down the garden, but…. #Caturday
Langston, the master of chill, cannot be disturbed.

Power #Scape
We look at the machines and forget their veins. We count on the computers, but forget their supply lines. Power cannot be held, it only flows. Make a river within you.

This brownstone has a lot going on, and I am all for it.
Although having the seven deadly sins as house guardians could be considered more of an invitation…

For those not local, please note that Portland is in no respect “war ravaged”.

Clio reminds you to always reach for your dreams #Caturday #Catsky
Almost… there… Not much is as attractive as a closed door to a cat. If you add a toy just on the other side… determination is redoubled.

In Stuyvesant Square, late September 2025, just before the park was invaded by a large pack of boisterous children.
