This house is nearly buried by all of the vegetation. I am always curious about the people living in houses with yards like this.

Another Blue Bottle Fancier

On Beach Drive, in Seattle, there is a house that has decorated a shrub, tree or whatever they fancied in their yard and parking strip with blue bottles. I never expected to find someone else bitten by the same bug, this time in Portland.

I think there is room for a couple more signs.

Mike’s House

Mike in his truck talking on the phone. I didn’t get a chance to talk with Mike the last time I was in Portland. I did notice that he had finished painting the new porch. I would guess more work is going on inside the house. Next time I hope to venture in and take photos, if Mike is okay with that.

I don’t think this rose is the ‘best’, but I thought it was interesting.

What remains of the Green Lake Aqua Theatre. Over 40 years ago I heard both The Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin at this venue.

Fourth of July in our Neighborhood

A little unusual look/effect. While the shutter was open I quickly moved the camera ( on tripod ) right or left to get this motion effect. I have some more traditional views of fireworks, but these were a couple of my favorites.

A Club for Magic Wheels

On July 5, 2011 By Fred KingIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Who would have thought there would be a club called: ‘Magic wheels“, whatever that is? I tried to get a look at their club or compound, but it seems they enjoy their privacy/secrecy. I was able to photograph their logo/sign between the sections of the wire fence. Turns out they are a motorcycle club, which is pretty cool.
