I am in Portland, Or. this week and will return home on July 5th. No new posts this week, but have about 200 new images to work through when I do return home.

Daylily
I get the Daylily confused with the Tiger Lily. I’m still not sure which is which, even after looking at photos. I have a few of these (fill in the blank)—–lilies in our yard. 
Garden Whimsy
Dancing pair shot with film.
White Rose
White rose shot with film in Portland. 
Young and Mature
Shot with Minolta X-700. Taken from archives. Location:Portland, Or.
Flower from the Past
I was looking through some folders that have some images taken with my Minolta X-700. This is a scanned image that I found and thought it would be nice to share. Something about film images that digital SLR’s can’t duplicate.
On a cloudy day
This flower looks very unenthusiastic. Maybe it is the weather?
Orange Burst
Spotted in the Sabin area of Portland, Or.
Rose
A rose received by my wife from a parent or student.
Shades of Pink
This plant is in our garden. I wish I could remember what it is. I want to say cosmos, but I think that would be wrong. The name tag I always put next to plants is missing.
Hiding
From our garden. Bush bean blossom.
Lupine and Thumbells
From our planter boxes.
Here’s looking at you….
A posting less serious than my usual fare….
Caffe Fiore
Spotted on the beach at Carkeek Park. Caffe Fiore has three locations in Seattle.
