I was able to go the Rembrandt/Dutch Masters exhibit at the art museum. Wow that stuff was incredible! The clarity of the images and scenes, I highly recommend going if you get the chance.

This is my attempt at reproducing that genre

I love summer sunsets! They come in all colors and the clouds make such wonderful patterns. I spend tons of time out in the back yard just before the sun goes down waiting for those spectacular colors!

It is Rose Festival time here again! This is the 100 anniversary for this Portland event. For a change it is sunny and war. The rainy weather is what gives us the wonderful roses. But is really not good for parades, fair ride and Dragon Boat races.
One of the things that happens is that the "fleet" comes in. Ships of every size, shape and registry can be seen tied to our sea wall along the Willamette river (pronounced Wil-lamette). This year is no exception with the Tall ships hearkening back to 100 years ago. (From the Rose Festival home page)The "Hawaiian Chieftain and Lady Washington (made famous by its appearances in the original “Pirates of the Caribbean” and other movies). These two-masted ships are classic replicas of merchant ships from the golden age of sea exploration."
The steam whistle from our paddle wheeler blowing to welcome them to port and the image of them on the water really made you think you might have traveled back in time.

What happened to May? I can't believe how fast the month went by!

I was out taking photos of our garden this past weekend and found this little guy on some of the webbing we use to grow our vines up. I can't remember the last time I actually saw a Dragon Fly that wasn't near water.

Tomorrow is Last Thursday and have an art show at Healthy Pets Northwest - Alberta (2224 NE Alberta). Come out and have some refreshments and support the arts!

I was fortunate enough to be in Seaside this past weekend, and the volunteer fire department was doing a training session. They were burning down some old duplexes near the highway. We saw the smoke as we were driving around town and upon closer inspection were able to watch them in action.

This weekend 4/21-22/07 is the Northwest Pet and Companion Fair at the Expo center Hall E. I will be participating as a vendor and am really looking forward to it! I have spent the last couple of weeks preparing creating new marketing materials to hand out to folks, putting together a slide show, and a both display. It has been a little daunting since most of it is outside of my expertise of photography. But I think its good to stretch yourself.
I hope everyone can come down and see all the activities. This coupon will get you a reduced admission price. Don’t forget to bring your pets, after all this is for them as much as it for us!

Last weeks wonderful spring weather had me out photographing the migrating birds out at Sauvie’s Island again. I went out further than I have been in awhile and discovered a new Osprey nest. What a treat it was to see these birds soaring in the cloudless blue sky. I did manage to watch a couple of Blue Herons flying away from me. Like the elusive Sand Hill Cranes, always just out of camera reach. This was the first week that I didn’t see any Eagles I think they may have moved on. Every week the number of birds that are visible on the Island decrease by about half of what it was the previous week. I was looking forward of going out there again this past weekend but the rain really made that an impossibility. Hopefully our spring weather will return.

I would like to invite everyone to the opening night of the DoNorth Show at the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center (IFCC 5340 N Interstate Ave., Portland, OR 97217) Thursday 29, 2007. It starts at 5pm admission is free, you will be able to hob nob with the artists and there is a rumor about hors D'oeuvres. This is a "last Thursday" show showcasing artists around North Portland and will last through April.

I have two pieces in the show, "Buds" which is the photo on my home page. "Gas station in storm" is a photograph of the old fashioned gas station in downtown St. Johns after a storm, and can be seen on the awards page.

I hope you will be able to come out and support the arts and have an enjoyable evening.

For those of you who have not been to IFCC before it is right on the max tracks, get off at Killingsworth station. IFCC is an old fire station located on the east side of Interstate south of the Killingsworth station.
