Clematis

I haven’t had much luck with clematis. I think I am one for six. The plant seems so delicate. I have tried to micro-nurture the plants I have had and in return they die. Maybe clematis is stronger than I think and if I just leave it alone it will do fine? I have one last plant still alive so I will test out this theory.

Shades of Blue Day Lily Since it is Spring I guess I am splurging on flowers in various phases and colors. I love the shades that nature produces, even just within one flower.

Jockey

Entrance Door

Alameda St., in NE Portland, is a pretty posh neighborhood. I guess posh does not exclude being a bit different? The entrance door reminds me of a checker board. I am not sure why someone would place a life-size replica of a jockey on their property.

Piglet on a roof on Alameda St., Portland, Oregon. I’m not sure what, if any, is the significance of a cement piglet on one’s roof, but there you have it.

Tulips at Dusk

Last week I sort of obsessed on tulips. I shot them during a morning walk with my granddaughter as well as in the evening while walking alone. This was taken at sunset in Portland, as was the previous post.

Guy’s Panel Van. Parked on Alberta St. in NE Portland. I think this van is a 1954 Chevy, but not sure. It looks like a van my neighbor used to have for his business. UPS also used this 1954 van.

Obama Poster in Window

Poster I saw in an apartment window. I am wondering how he is handling, in private, the monstrous mess left by his predecessor? He seems strong and focused. The last eight years nearly brought this country to the brink, I believe. I hope he can pull us back from the precipice.
