More Reflections

This brave clump of grass caught my eye this morning.
The heavy overnight rains left it stranded in this puddle.
But you can see ... from the reflection -
The clouds are breaking up!
Soon this will be just another ...
Random clump of grass.
Growing through cracks in the pavement.

The Rains Are Gone ... For Now

It finally stopped raining ...
And look what I found!

Reflections in a puddle --
Finally -- blue sky!!!

Through The Window, Again

Grass Through Glass

Sunset Reflections

Another Puddle Reflection

Yesterday started out cloudy.
Then the sun started peeking out,
Warming the air.
Soon this puddle will be gone.
Leaving just mud.
And the reflection of the sun behind the trees will have to wait for another rainy day.

Reflections ...

Sun reflects brokenness into a web spun of shadows.
A beautiful sunny day reduced to an eerie reflection.

Broken Window Surprise

This newly broken window at the abandoned church caught my eye. Maybe the tinted glass gives it the purplish glints, I'm not sure.

Conversation

I went back to Oregon City yesterday, with several hours to browse the Willamette River. This time I went down the "politically correct" path, complete with handrails, steps, and cement lookout point. B-O-R-I-N-G! The only things I got good views of were all of the fishermen in boats blocking my view. So I jumped onto the rocky shore and started walking (well, climbing from rock to rock) to a point where debris from the December high water was stacked up over my head. Twigs, limbs, branches, trash, all waiting for me to discover their treasures! I took a picture of one particular limb, jutting out into the river. To me it resembled a giant hand holding a very large stick.

When I got home and viewed the picture, I was entranced by the reflection of this huge log onto the surface of the river. I saw what looked like a girl, hair tied back, having a conversation with someone behind her (wearing a hoodie?). What a surprise! What else is to be found in this photo? Who knows!

LEC Dinosaur

Abandoned building.
Trash.
Vandals.
Broken windows.
Leaking roof.
Pools of water.
Sunshine.
Imagination.

Sunshine reflecting off broken window into pool of water onto wall.

Elusive LEC dinosaur is caught making his rounds.
