Chinese Lanterns


Went to Portland on Saturday for free museum day. Had a nice time at the Oregon History Museum and then walked around for a bit. They were hanging Chinese lanterns at the Portland Art Museum and a nice young woman that works in the gift shop pointed out that if I would take my pictures from the other direction I could get the cool church steeple in the background. I was so happy with it that I pointed it out to two other people before I left.
OK, I know this is supposed to be things I've "seen" but I just heard a fire engine siren and realized that it was the first siren I've heard since I moved to Wilsonville over two weeks ago. I think I could hear sirens almost every night in Boise. Why is that?

My new backyard




















This is the view off the back of the balcony of my apartment in Wilsonville.

Blackberries...yum!


On Sunday I walked through the Memorial Park in Wilsonville and sampled the blackberries.

Things I've seen

OK, nothing much to see here. Just a collection of things I've seen -- hopefully coming to you in 8 MP digital photography. But, really just any old thing.
