While out taking vineyard photos today, I came across an old house that had been nearly torn apart by harsh weather and vandals. Funny thing is that the house is so far out in the country. It's hard to imagine vandalism happening out there. Bummer. Cool photo, ...

Codi and I recently visited the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in SE Portland. It's 9 acres of rhododendrons and other flowers, but the most obvious attraction is the small lake and the hundreds of ducks and geese. Betwen the two of us, we took about 300 photos. Here ...
