Photo of the Day – Hay! It’s Blue Skies!
Pardon the liberty I’ve taken with the subject, I cannot help myself when I see bales of hay. I will, undoubtedly yell, HAY, whenever I see it.
Photo of the Day – Sunburst Gas Works
This photo is all about perspective. A great shot from Seattle, Washington’s Gas Works park, which is an old gas and oil refinery turned nature park. They covered everything with colorful paint and turned it into a great place to see Seattle on a sunny day.
Photo of the Day – Lava Canyon Washout
This is another photo from my Mt. St. Helens hike in Washington. This canyon was a washout from the 1980’s volcanic eruption. It’s beautiful now.
Quote of the Day – Neil Gaiman on Life
It’s been a busy day today. It’s nice to be busy, it’s nice to be preparing for vacation. I just wish it was a little cooler than 100°. I don’t do well in the heat. 🙂 I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens…

Quote of the Day – Ernest Hemingway on …Why?

Photo of the Day – Morning Rainbow
This rainbow was from earlier this morning. A nice way to walk into work. We’ve had some weird weather in Portland this July.
Photo of the Day – Mt. Tabor Park
This wasn’t my original choice for photo of the day, instead I had something else planned. Then, my crappy internet service provider decided to be really slow, so I went for a walk instead of cursing their name to high-heavens. On my walk, I took this photo.
