An artful mocha from Random Order in NE Portland.

Breakout!
This cat actually pushed out the window screen from the attic room. Once out, as with most felines, he realized he only had a breakout plan and had not thought through what to do after the breakout. He paced around the roof, meowing in distress at his predicament for a few minutes. A squirrel tempted the cat to jump into a tree on the other side of the roof peak to add to the drama. The owner poked her head out the escape window and was trying to call the cat back, with little luck for some time. Finally, the cat did come close enough to the window for the women to grab by the scruff and haul him inside the house.
Skagit Valley: Abandoned#3
Color versions of previous images. With color you can see the tonal variations in the corrugated roof ( as well as the geometry of lines) and the shades of rust to the right of the doorway above. I like seeing the partial windows in the background; adds some sort of depth, but leads nowhere. Well, just some random thoughts. I rarely comment on the images I post. I would rather the images spoke for themselves, but today I felt like sharing my impressions:-).
Skagit Valley
Skagit Valley, approx. 70 miles north of Seattle, WA. This particular sequence was shot just east of LaConner, WA. looking northeast. That is Mt. Baker in the distance. The valley is mostly farmland for a variety of crops, including tulips. Tomorrow and perhaps for a couple of more days I am going to post some images of an abandoned farm I ran across while driving through the valley.
Duwamish River
Small section of the Duwamish River where nature seems to coexist with marine commerce.
