Biker Moma and Popa

 Better than a shopping cart, homeless man and his bicycle.

 Not a typical Portland outfit, but still makes a fashion statement.

Below, on the roof of the eight story Manor at Willamette View, what is it: an eagle or an osprey (sea eagle) or another large bird of prey? I think it's a juvenile bald eagle.

Photographers: These were taken with my Nikon D-7100 and my new Nikor 18-300 mm lens. The lens enables me to take candid photos of bikers  from a distance without risking getting beaten up. This is the perfect lens for street photography.

Street Photography - The Artful Candid By Liz Masoner, About.com Guide to Photography

Street photography has a long history and has made many photographers famous.  Gary Winograd, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Mary Ellen Mark, and so many others showed us everyday life in new ways. What is it about street photography that so captures the imagination? The best way I can describe street photography is "the artful candid." Street photography isn't posed (at least not by the photographer). Street photography is all about found situations and subjects but they are photographed in an artful way. This type of photography, so often misunderstood even by many its practitioners, is about creating art out of everyday scenes. More>

Note how the lens functioned for the artsy photos of vegetables.

Blooms around the house in the second season of spring.

I don't know what these white blossoming trees are just outside

my dining area windows and next to the patio.

This is just starting to bud out. I have no idea what it is or what it will look like.

Just my silly monkey display... the left money plays the bongos, the monkey on the right likes his store-bought coconut milk. My neighbors gave me the large fire-pot.

If you know me and have lost touch, and found this page,

how about getting in touch with me in Portland, Oregon.

I’m in the book.

Putting the following pictures here is appropriate 

since much, perhaps most, of my life here is a 

usually successful endeavor in trying not to go

squirrelly 

To chase a squirrel, so near, yet so far.

You can see Mac's tail vibrating.

The master of his domain. And trust me, it is Mister Squirrel.
