Actually #WarRavagedPortland ravaged by the oil industry's generational war against our air and oceans. Note the lack of visible volcanoes

Sunset in the wild Atlantic Coast of Ireland (marching band not pictured)

Some parts of Ireland are harder to invade than others

Took the chance to play a Derry Aire *in* Derry as the sun set on the Peace Bridge. (I knew it as Danny Boy 46 years ago, the last time we beat the Blue Devils) Let's tak a cup o' kindness yet and send in the clowns.

Looking across the sea to Skye, from the Giant's causeway. The band is charmed by occupied Ireland

I heard gps argues that this is a few inches off from modern maps

Dancing bears of Kensington, and his hair was perfect

A lovely afternoon near the Avon. These narrow boats are really narrow ;-)

The trombone section are all high school girls from Kitami Fuji; subarashii! (No witches were harmed)

With the right technology, even the Willamette can become a reflecting pool

Biking home from band practice, PDX peri-solstice

Neighborhood agave getting frisky #warRavagedPortland

"heavy" traffic on the Willamette today

The crowd was good, the rain stayed away for the parade (unlike for our concert earlier) thanks to omtaamb.org for another great season!

Although it's not the Thames,we have our crews on the Willamette

PDX parties on Memorial Day weekend

After the power pep band serenaded arriving Thorns fans, we got seats on the Vista deck. Beat San Diego 2-0

Here's a great tattoo'in for Pterry's Birthday; hand crafted in Pape'ete. Ironically, the Discworld has no equator for sailors to commemorate crossing

Perfectly Portland weather for a visit to the Japanese garden with my sister

Wishing a happy bicycle day to all who celebrate

A beautiful morning in South PDX. If you look closely enough, you cannot see four astronauts just aft of the mast, caught in the shrouds and lazy jacks

A beautiful spring day in PDX, from the St John's bridge, heading out for a little biking on Sauvie Island

A beautiful day for no kings

Spring has sprung in PDX

Daffodils spring up in the banks of the Willamette

A nice day out on the Willamette. Oregon now requires paddlers to have a permit, which can be stored on your phone. Phone compatibility with paddling was not part of the legislative process

TBGO and the Portland Ropers warming up for Mardi Gras parade. The crowd was better than ever this year

Moons over Milwaukie

Pretty calm for a February day on the Oregon coast

Is it cool air and warm river or vice versa?
