Ready and Waiting

This swing set always looked out of place sitting on the beach until this day that I visited.  It was early evening and the cold temperatures begun to float in from the sea so most of the tourists had migrated to the promenade.  July 2008.

Co-mingling

Taken in Seaside, Oregon in July of 2008.

Quaint

I loved the lighting in this room in the old house my relatives have in Eastern Oregon.  They had several rooms ready and waiting for guests at any time.  The room is peaceful but has a certain character of yesteryear.  It's been a long time since I've seen a rocking chair sitting beside a lonesome window.  Perhaps it's a rural thing.  Perhaps it's a gesture of relaxation from years ago and there only because of the generation from which my relatives came.  Either way, I found it all to be very charming in its simplicity.
Near Wallowa, OR.  September 2008.

Beachfront Ghost Town

Seaside isn't really a ghost town, but when I saw this volleyball all I could think of was the action that was going on here at one time but is not longer.  July.  2008.

Chucks

If I had been consciously aware of the similarity of placement between the two leaves and my feet, I would have chosen to mimic the leaves with my feet.  I'm not sure why I love this photo so much, but I tend to use it often as an identifying avatar/image for things I do online.  It's me without actually identifying myself.
