Portland garden

A great little garden in the Hawthorne district of Portland, Oregon. Whimsical and Pacific Northwestern...

Portland Trees

Pioneer Square and the Portland Japanese Garden. November 2009.

But I wasn't done being there...

Union Station

A family at Zuma Beach, Malibu

Pershing Square, downtown L.A.

One of my favorite built structures. Ever.

The Gamble House on a perfectly cloudless morning.


I loved Los Angeles....I will be back.

Summer's almost gone

...and I don't want it to be...though dropping temps and humidity make living in the South so much easier, this place blossoms--absolutely bursts forth--life and flowers and pollen and insects and water-- in the warmest of the seasons, a name almost assigned to me by my own parents: Summer.

Big landscapes

Four paintings by the late, great Elemore Morgan, Jr.

His paintings of the landscapes of Acadiana are somehow soothing and exciting all at once. He painted on-site--the changing light, its shadows, the wind, and its effects on the prairie-fields are evident in his evocative work. I saw his work in the Contemporary Arts Center of Acadiana in Lafayette a couple of years ago....a huge, beautiful white space that held Morgan's giant sweeping landscapes quite well. (really, some of the panoramas are 20'+ in length!)

All images are from the website of the Arthur Roger gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana.
