   I love all your photos–but the ladybug is a special favorite as is the beautiful arch in CA. Is that a piece of carrot cake I see?? I’m drooling…

   Happy New Year! I just have to ask . . . could your kid *be* any cuter? 🙂

   My favorite picture? I can hardly come up with one. They are all so good. When I have finally settled on one I think of the others.

   It has been *quite* a year, hasn’t it? One can only hope for what comes next. I’m just glad I get to share it all with you and G! Happy New Year!

   Hello, I visit Jack’s blog to keep up on Portland and he linked to you, wow, I know Astoria intimately. DH and myself are grads of “Harvard on the Hill” aka Clatsop CC. His G-ma just recently passed away at the care center in November and we have been feeling lonesome for the views. His family opened Ball Studio many years ago and they have ties to Fern Hill and the Scandinavian community. We lived over in Ash apartments as newly weds, just passed the 25th year mark ;). We were living there when “Goonies” was being filmed and dh worked at Fultano’s serving a few of the kid stars. Years later and moves to Eugene to the U of O then back to Portland Metro have found us in retirement on the plains of Montana. Keep up your wonderful photography, what a wonderful treat for me. *Robin*

   That photo of the archway is just amazing. The others aren’t too shabby either. Happy new year!

   What lovely and fun photos! I really enjoyed all of them, though the archway was particularly stunning. Thank you for sharing them!

   Missing your voice lately via Twitter, so I thought checking in here was smart. See, I *do* read your blog! 😉
