I was crossing the Broadway Bridge a few days ago when I ran into a little Rose Festival traffic. Boats!

The bridges were up, so I hopped off the bike and snapped a few photos. Enjoy!

I spent about an hour walking through a beautiful neighborhood this afternoon (Covenanter between High St. and College Mall Rd. in Bloomington).

A couple photos for you:

Shortly after hitting the shutter, the ice beneath me gave way. Brr.

Today’s snowfall follows an ice storm last week. Everything’s saggy.

More images at Flickr. For something warmer, see my photos of Griffy Lake this fall.

I took this photograph while atop Silver Star Mountain in Washington (see previous post below). Click for a larger version; it makes an excellent desktop background.

After watching a documentary called The End of Suburbia, I committed to become a member of Bloomingfoods, a local organic food co-op. This morning, Holly invited me to bike to the Portland Farmers’ Market. I had no idea what to expect.

The market gathers every Saturday from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm on the Portland State University campus in downtown Portland. I was first impressed by its size - they filled a commons area the size of Dunn Meadow (for the Bloomingtonians); it was comparable to a fair.

But then I tried a farm-fresh, locally-grown, organic peach. I’m not sure I can eat peaches from the grocery store any more. That said, I’m looking forward to a year of Bloomingfoods. Anyone care to join me?

On Friday, Brandon invited me to hike up Silver Star Mountain in Washington. We had some great conversations about nature, politics, peak oil, and the dream of God. We hit the intellectual peak of the day when he reached the summit, pulled out his cell phone, and shouted “I HAVE THREE BARS!!!”

This photo is a 360-degree panoramic shot composed of 16 individual pictures digitally stitched together. If you look closely, you’ll see three mountains (from left to right, Mt. Saint Helens, Mt. Ranier, and Mt. Hood). Click it for a much larger version, or click here for a Quicktime panorama.
