PDX > TUS

Well, I'm leaving on rainy Portland day, headed to warmer weather. The promise of sun makes flying worth it.

I'm ready

...for a few days in warmer weather!  Looking forward to several days in Arizona coming up, during which I will focus on being outside!  Walking the pups and going out to take photos.  Tucson actually isn't set up too bad, though I wouldn't want to live there.  The mountains to the north and the east provide a good compass, though.  As well, E Broadway Blvd acts like Burnside in Portland, dividing North from South.  Stone Ave seems to divide West/East but I don't think we go over that far!

No pool this visit... :'(

Changes

This is my first time using BlogThis!

My friend Kayley is a talented photographer living in Los Angeles and she told me about her new blog, The Eclectic Mind. It reminds me that I'd like to get a handle on this blogging situation.

One of Kayley's photos that I love:

It's a myth that every day is like this in Portland, of course.  Maybe because I have lived here all my life, I am becoming somewhat immune to these days.  I tell myself, These days keep Oregon so green, and others believe the weather prevents too many people from moving here.
