Breakout!

On By Fred KingIn Cat, Nikon D7000, Portland, Thoughts1 Comment

DSC_2542-001This 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.

Just a quick note: Last weekend I did replace my expired MacBook with a new MacBook with a retina screen, etc. It appears I will be continuing this blog for as long as my creativity and technical gadgetry continue to grow or is replaced. This is blogpost#2301!DSC_2192-001   Enjoy!DSC_2275-001

Some of the odd items spotted along Skidmore St., NE Portland. I did pick up the syringe (diabetic?) and dispose of it later. It’s so infuriating to find stuff like a syringe that could be so dangerous to humans of all ages, but especially children. That is my rant for the day.

Located on Mississippi St., in NE Portland. The front gate is padlocked and bushes, as you can see, cover the view of most of the front of the house now. I’m not sure if tours are conducted or if the house is just closed up. It is on the National Historic Registry.

Not exactly as impressive as the ‘Painted Ladies‘ across from Alamo Park in San Francisco, but that is what came to mind as I walked by these houses on Albina St. in NE Portland.
