Stairway

Really interesting effects created from Panoramic Photos. The HDR set is dazzling.

Why staying in bike lanes isn’t always possible.

Now that my commute consists of fighting coastal wind gusts, intermittent rain, semi-courtous Oregon drivers and super fast road bikers, the issues of cycling in cities is at the top of my awareness radar.

Hence, this post.

Rainbow over Portland



Rainbow over Portland, originally uploaded by duncandavidson.

this morning there was the most perfect rainbow over downtown as i biked across the hawthorne bridge… wish i had my camera with me! made the blustery headwind from the coast worth the effort to see it.

this is a pic from a portlander at sunset, the arc is as perfect as this morning’s rainbow, but it was so clear, vivid… just lovely.

mmmm yummy colors,
I have been cooking many indian dishes recently, my cupboard is stocked with Fennel, Cayenne, Garam Masala, Mustard Seeds, Tumeric… then when we went to make pizza I didn’t have any of my trusty Italian Seasoning blend! We have since rectified this, and started growing some basil on our little herb garden porch as well :)

vinni puh!

this is the cutest thing ever!
