Green and White Beauty

Hello, Gorgeous!
The grey house made a perfect background for this tulip. I increased the size of the canvas in Photoshop and smoothed out the mottled basement stucco to blend in the new canvas parts. All that work made the shot look like a studio setup when it's actually not. It was just fiddled with in Photoshop Elements to highlight it's natural beauty.

Obama For President

As Robert Reich says in his blog, except for superdelagates, it shouldn't and likely doesn't matter to anyone whom you vote for. Still, with two posts about Obama on my blog, it's getting pretty clear who I'm backing.
Today I went to Oregon campaign headquarters for Obama to offer help with data entry. I'm SO appreciating those people who call folks on the phone to find out who needs to be registered or who is supporting the senator, because I couldn't do that.

Tropicana

Like all things Vegas, this hotel's charm is going away soon with the announcement that the site will be "redeveloped" and most (though not all) of the current buildings will be demolished so they can add towers, thousands of more rooms, and a bigger convention center. You can read about it on the Wikipedia link above. :(

Cherry Blossoms With Half Moon

The cherry blossoms are in still in bloom in various parts of our neighborhood. They are thick and luscious, looking like snow drooping off the branch. I tried to get a photo of the crescent moon with earthshine earlier this week, however rain and overcast skies prevented that. This is the first time I've seen the moon for a week.

Cupola-Bank of America Building

For the photo I was using my little P&S Canon Powershot. Typically when I shoot ceilings, I fold out the swivel LCD, looking down on the camera, rather than crane my neck trying to look from underneath the camera up at the ceiling. (Remember the point of my photos is first to have fun! After that, I'll try to get as good a photo as I can if I'm enjoying what I'm doing.) So, I tried as much as I could to lean back out of the shot. Still, you can see me--my bangs, at least--in the photo, if you look closely.

Sculpture-Alberta Arts District

Everything is dreary here the past couple of weeks for the rain. My last few posts have lacked light which is irritating after awhile. The greyness is everywhere.
This photo I took a couple of weeks ago when I took Sarah to lunch for her birthday. I saw this in the courtyard of a little restaurant in the Alberta Arts District and felt amazed at the contrast between the rusty iron with the bold, curing lines and the shiny corrugated metal siding behind it.

St Agatha's

The doors of the Sellwood Catholic Church, St. Agatha's, had a different look yesterday on my walk. Having never been Catholic, I have no idea if these wreaths are significant in some way.

Testing The Block

The surgery went well! No complications or surprises. The xrays show perfect placement of his carpal bones, radius and ulna plus a piece of metal that looks like it could have been pulled from a gate hinge.

Hugh At The ER

Hugh's injury is such that it requires a metal plate to be inserted as an internal cast until the bones heal and the hand regains it's normal shape and function. (He could have chosen to have a normal cast but there was a high risk of his hand not ever working right at the end of six weeks, so this seemed the better approach.) He's going into surgery tomorrow afternoon for the repair and will have about a 3" incision made on the thumb side of his wrist to insert the plate. They will also do reduction, which is what they call the pulling and pushing on the bones to shove them back into their normal place.
He can use his hand, in fact is encouraged to use it, as much as his pain tolerance allows as soon as the surgery is over. The plate will remain in if he wishes or he can have it removed later.

Flower Sunrise

You can see how sharp the macro function is on my little P&S. I was probably 2 inches or so from the flower. Gotta love digital!
