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.
Albina St. #2
Some of building art spotted along Albina St. in NE Portland.
Rusty Structure
Sections of an old train trestle along the Cedar River that is now used as a footpath.
Artsy Intersection
This is not a chalk drawing, but one done with paint. Spotted in NE Portland.
Three Amigos
Spotted in Peninsula Park, NE Portland, OR.
Peninsula Park, NE Portland
Peninsula Park was the original ‘Rose Garden’ in Portland, OR. Located in NE Portland I would guess city officials decided that a park like this should be located closer to downtown.
Along the Cedar River
The Cedar River, in Maple Valley, WA, bends and twists its way around marshes with dragonflies.
Crocosmia-Pre-Bloom
These Crocosmia plants are courtesy of my next door neighbor. I kept an eye on her plants for a couple of weeks, during the evenings, to capture some images of the blossoms as they progressed.
Asymmetry
A newer building on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Can’t recall the exact address, but it does stand out in context with the surrounding buildings.
Timex and Tile
Another look at Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Hosta Blossoms
We have two Hosta plants in pots that are always enjoyable to photograph each summer.
‘Good-bye’ to the Humans of Alberta St.
Possibly the last of the images from June’s version of Last Thursday, the monthly street fair on Alberta St. in NE Portland, OR.
Humans of Alberta St. #5
I’m back from a short adventure away from home.
