2010, Day 97 - Jennie Bramhall House

Today I had the pleasure of visiting my friend Francene at her beautiful home. Sadly for me I may not have many more opportunities to photograph Francene's home as she has decided to sell it in favor of something smaller. Who would have thought that 4,100 square feet would be too much for one person?

Anywho, it is an amazing home that has been lovingly and carefully restored. Francene is very active with the Architectural Heritage Society so just about everything is period correct but with all the modern conveniences.

2010, Day 96 - Whitebells

These are bluebells but they lack normal pigmentation so I guess they're really whitebells.

2010, Day 95 - Lion's mane

I would pick today as the day to capture the structure of a dandelion with gusts of thirty miles per hour. After searching for a while I managed to find on still intact...

2010, Day 94 - 4am Project

Today's photos were for the 4am Project. It started on April 4th, 2008 and has continued each year subsequent so to be eligible to participate you need to take pictures between four and five in the morning. So I tricked Rachel into coming with me and we arrived at Pioneer Square just after 4am.

2010, Day 93 - Happy Birthday Boo

Today is Boo's tenth birthday and to honor the occasion I decided he needed some new portraits.

The birthday boy! He's been with me for almost seven years :)

2010, Day 92 - Hubert illustrates

Hubert, the clown of the household, illustrates my day well. The morning was spent working hard, making little progress but still hoping for greater rewards whereas the afternoon was one of exhaustion and general sloth. I had hoped that when I brought dogs into my life they would inspire me to be more active but they mirror my natural inclinations a little too well at times.

2010, Day 91 - Indoor soccer

Yes, it rains a lot in Portland but we're a determined group so there are some very active indoor soccer leagues. My friend Rachel participates in one and invited me to come along to cheer them on and take a few pictures. Thanks Rach!
