Noticer of things. Playing an infinite sum game. My roots are in New York City, my bloom in Cascadia.

It's scary how cute Park Slope was tonight.

Happy Halloween, NYC.

Took my dad to go vote today. I miss #NYC. You’ve got this.
My dad heads to the polls. nYC has the best #IVoted stickers! I tried to get this actual pigeon to pose but they only wanted crumbs.

Traveling on Tuesday.
Cant smell the salt at Howard Beach today, but there’s good sky.

Letting go can be beautiful #Stunday
This guy has been in my yard for much longer than it has been my yard. Brilliantly on fire this year and ready to take on the dark season. October, 2025

Meeting place #scape
The River, flatlands, cliffs, sky and human dance together for a perfect afternoon. October 2025, view south across the Columbia to Oregon.

October dahlia does not fear the season to come #bloomscrolling
So much joy on a cool and damp October morning in the garden. I salute those who bloom no matter what the world does.

#UrbanGaze #Portland
On a tiny side street with one of the best views in Southwest Portland, a retaining wall has gotten some new colors on it.

This public service announcement is brought to you for #TrailTuesday #PortlandHikers
Also note that in Skamania County, where this sign is posted, it is against the law to harm a Bigfoot. So don’t. October 2025, on the trail from Bonneville Hot Springs to Greenleaf Falls.

Curious what is actually going on most nights in Portland? Watch to the end and you’ll be glad 😆

I had promised myself that I’d get up and start closing down the garden, but…. #Caturday
Langston, the master of chill, cannot be disturbed.

Power #Scape
We look at the machines and forget their veins. We count on the computers, but forget their supply lines. Power cannot be held, it only flows. Make a river within you.

Hang on as best you can.
Take care of yourself.
Take care of others if you're able.
Sharpen your antlers, put on your best traveling cloak, disappear into the forest, and find other creatures like yourself gathering together in the gloom.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

For those not local, please note that Portland is in no respect “war ravaged”.

Clio reminds you to always reach for your dreams #Caturday #Catsky
Almost… there… Not much is as attractive as a closed door to a cat. If you add a toy just on the other side… determination is redoubled.
