Church
NE Portland has many, small neighborhood churches. The names of some of them are too long to remember. This neighborhood still has a few, what I would call, Mom & Pop stores. This sort of thing has long since vanished from most Seattle residential neighborhoods. It is like being transported back to the 1950’s, to see small churches in this setting.
Friday Whimsy
In the Pacific Northwest we rely on artificial devices to remind us of what the sun may look like. This tree has such a lumpy trunk from pruning it looks like it has gone through a series of plastic surgeries.
Bark Peeling
I found this bark fascinating. Of course I couldn’t resist helping Mother Nature along by peeling off some of the bark myself.
