Out and about with the family over the weekend.
Totally dry sunday...snowed yesterday!
This scene would look much different if taken today!

Jamison Square, downtown PDX, in the Pearl district on Sunday,
outside of Sips N Krans where we enjoyed hot apple ciders...

Just great to see you posting. Hope to see more of your images. I know the relocation takes a little time to get use to, but your photos and input here on a regular basis are definitely missed.

Were is the snow... I guest it was taken before the snow and bumper cars. One weather person got it correct but the City and Bus went with a different weatherman, and got pie in face. It started snowing about 6 am, by the time I finished unlocking at 7:30 we had 1.5 inches on the ground (very dry). There was a bus cross ways on the very small incline in front of my work. Both my student workers were late also. It went down hill from there. It took me 2 hours (and a 20 block walk) to get home after the University was closed. Of course I didn't have a camera! The photo is from my front porch.

PS snow 1/16/07, schools closed today 1/17/07

Rebekah, I ditto OTs comments. It is good to see you back. You look great in the pic as well as the kids. Hot apple Cider sounds great about now as we are having an arctic blast here. the scotch will have to do for now. . .:wink5:

Works for me!

Good to see you back. Crazy winter everyone here in the US is having, no doubt about it.

So you like Portland, huh? We've been thinking about some place to go for a long weekend in the spring. Probably not the best time to visit, but it seems like spring is not the best place to go anywhere. Austin TX is a good choice and a contender...

Have you seen or heard of Anthony Bourdain's TV show "No Reservations"? I watch it when I can and the last one was on Portland and Seattle. Having been to neither of these two cities and judging from only that show, I'd vote for Portland.

A man after my own heart. My son got me a bottle of 18 year old Glenlivet for Christmas and I am hoarding it.

[villenadecorte]

I think after today, i will be opting for coffee and baileys when i go home.
sheesh.

[Old Timer]

My wife says she'll be right over. You're her kind of woman.

Like I said before, the only snow I like to see is guarded by coasties Sector Miami Base, or when you guys post your shots. I just checked my weather statiion on the roof, it's down to 73.2. I love it.

Good to see you on R.

That sounds so good, as it was very busy at work. They are typing to make up for the two days of snow.

[villenadecorte]

Nice to see you back. Lovely photos of the family. Glad your having fun over there. I thought only the UK stopped with inches of snow. (Sorry I forgot 1" of snow in the UK)

You WHAT??!!

OK, give us the details.

Relocating is always tough, but it's good to see that you're still shooting. And now you've got lots of new stuff to shoot! Looking forward to seeing it.

No it happens only on the FIRST snow fall, the first day we get rid of all the drivers that think they can drive in the snow by CRASH. The second day you can drive all over town without getting hit. It doesn't help that we only get snow only once or maybe twice in the winter :wink5:

[villenadecorte]

Ten years older and then some!
keep at it kiddo, your shots are great.
