Last Day of the Year
In December 2009 I house/ pet sat for my aunt and uncle in Dixon California. I had never been to California.
Besides house privileges I also had the use of their Prius. I was able to travel about quite a bit. San Francisco, Sacramento, Sausalito, Redwood City, Calaveras County.
It was an amazing time that I will never forget. This rambling bit is inspired by the experience.

I found myself out and about in downtown Portland early today. I was multitasking - playing Ingress and taking photographs. Yes, I have had a drink from them despite the pigeons also being users of these unique fountains. The water is just fine. They get cleaned twice a month.

This is from the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in Portland, Oregon. I made a version of this with very saturated colors. This version appeals to me more. These ducks are very commonplace. You know what color they are.
... - Over the Willamette
In Portland, Oregon there are many ways to cross the Willamette River. One of the cities nicknames is Bridgetown. There are something like 10 bridges that cross the river in the PDX area. I think that the prettiest and most architecturally interesting bridge is The St John's Bridge. According to Wikipedia It is the only... - Birdbath Decay
If you stand still long enough in Portland you will take on a green patina. Moss is everywhere. I love it.
... - The Steel Bridge
In January of 2007 I was walking on the Esplanade in Portland Oregon. I took this photo of the Steel Bridge with a 3 mp cell phone. I liked the image but it was dull and flat. If you must know, the Steel Bridge is a through truss, double lift bridge across the Willamette River. ... - RIP My Friend
In 2009 I had the privilege of cat-sitting for this noble beast. He is no longer with us, but he will be missed. Click on the image to make it larger.
... - Seaweed
I took this image off the California coast somewhere south of Redwood City. I drove for hours down the coast on New Years Day 2010. It was a wonderful day full of amazing sites. What a great way to start the year.... - Angry Bird
It seems that a lot of people are addicted to the "Angry Birds" game. This guy is angry for real. This is from the winter storm we had back in 2008. Apparently seagulls don't like the snow.
... - California Coast
Here is a panoramic shot from the same day. I wish I could tell you exactly where this was. On New Years Day 2010 I drove from Redwood City to Santa Cruz. Click on image for full size.
... - HDR
I've always loved HDR photography. The intense contrast and bright colors appeal to me. Lately I have been uploading my photos to Flickr. I came across two photos I took on the coast of California. It was the same image with two different exposures. Normally you want more exposures, but I decided to give it...
