Some random images from a somewhat near-sighted camera:





Mushrooms reminding me somewhat of Heteroscodra maculata:

Just came across these yesterday. I took these almost 3 years ago whilst visiting my best friend in Oregon. I have more, but I don't feel like getting behind my computer and plugging my scanner in.

Really cool huge statue. "Portlandia."


Downtown Portland:


Paige and Holley will have to help me with this one......the locks on some river....the Willamette?


Multnomah falls.

Ah, the Portlandia statue! I remember the year that some anarchist punks hung a giant yo-yo off of her finger.

Found this little guy in the garden this morning. I googled it and came up with a Green Lacewing. Very interesting though, watching it eat, it has a neck movement of a mammal.

Okay, if you have dial up, you might want to skip the link. All of my "artistic"/general photographs are over at http://schlyne.deviantart.com You'd want the gallery link.

It would take me way too much time to resize and scale them back down to post in this thread. If you're going to comment on one of the photos, please comment over there :)

Leanne,
it's the Cascade Locks on the Columbia River. Located in the Columbia Gorge about 60 miles east of Portland....

The butt bucket is my favorite. I would have taken a few more dozen shots of it though. ;)

Try living here. It is scary. :)

The homeowner's association here is comprised of all retired couples who have nothing better to do than make stupid rules that everyone in the community has to follow - no motorcycles parked outside, only 312 Christmas lights per house, all mailbox flags must be kept either straight up at a 90 degree angle or completely down, only certain types of plants can be planted in front, no toys outside unless someone is outside with them, no satellite dishes (the small ones that mount on the roof), no Halloween decorations, etc, etc, etc.....
