About the only time we see the rays of the sun in the Pacific NW is as an architectual detail.

A Different Kind of Monster

I actually did find this empty can right where it is as I was rummaging along the railroad tracks in the Georgetown neighborhood. This is not an endorsement of the drink, as I have never consumed a ‘Monster’ before. I just found the image mildly interesting. Maybe it has something to do with the American tradition of drinking and driving?

This is actually on the exterior wall of a building on Alberta St. in NE Portland. It invites you to touch-very tactile friendly.

Spotted in Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. Due to being in Portland the past few days I have not been able to post. As evidenced by this I appear to be back in Seattle.

Clematis

I have a black thumb when it comes to clematis. I have made numerous attempts to grow this vine over the past few years. Not sure what it is this plant needs that I seem to lack, but some gardeners have great luck, such as these examples show.
