Wet Leaves

We dried out over the weekend, but on Thursday in the gorge it was still pretty wet. This photo of big leaf maple leaves was taken from the same location as yesterday's Multnomah Falls shot: the parking lot.

New Direction

Well, I actually wanted to pick up the camera yesterday, which I consider a very good thing.  I'm not really sure why this particular parking lot scene inspired me, but I'm not going to question it too much either.  I've had a couple of day trips in mind to do all month, and hopefully now that I'm feeling a bit more inspired and energetic I'll be up for taking a drive with my camera later this week.  Also, just on a side note, after a long dry summer our rainy season is finally arriving!  I'm sure I"ll be sick of it by March, but right now I'm loving it!!!

Outside the Shopping Center

On a sunny Sunday afternoon,

A little Sweet Gum struggles toward spring. 

December 6

A little country church sits on a big parking lot with a tiny patch of grass at the front.  Looks like they are over-watering the patch of grass, and in December no less.  But the run off made such a pretty pattern I had to stop to get a photo.
