Curious

Most urban chickens I have run across are quite shy. This chicken, along with his coop-mate, saw me walking by and literally as if they were dogs, came trotting up to the fence and were not only curious, but hungry. I fed them some crackers and it was like they were ‘begging’ as dogs do. They hung around the fence till I ran out of crackers.

Urban Fur

Spotted last week between Prescott and Alberta St.’s in Portland. My guess would be this possum got caught somewhere in daylight that was not good or too far from where it usually hangs out in the daylight hours. My apologies to possum-lovers, but to me they look like  big  rats.

Between Prescott and Alberta

One of my favorite houses in Portland. Located between Prescott and Alberta St. at 19th ( I think ). The detail on the house from the dental molding to all of the cornice and trim work is just wonderful. Even the chimney has some interesting detail to catch your attention. Last week I walked by the house and noticed that the owner had repainted with a different color scheme, which I am not sure I like as well as this one. I have been looking at this house for over 5 years and still have not mustered the courage to knock on the door and ask if I could look inside.
