Breaking Open
Sep 30th
It was mostly overcast yesterday afternoon, but there was a nifty break in the clouds for a little while. I did my best to capture it, though I’m not sure how well it came through. Subtle clouds and sun rays can be tricky to photograph… at least, it’s tricky for me.
I took this looking west from Wilco Rd., near Shaff Rd.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the monthly City Daily Photo theme day. Well over 100 CDP photoblogs participate each month.
Gently
Sep 29th
Since we’re nearing the end of warm weather for the year, I’ve been on a flower hunt all over town. I need to get in as many as I can, don’t ya know. This black-eyed susan flower was found across the street from Pioneer Park.

The Weakness In Me
Sep 28th
This… is a wall. With a crack on it. And a pipe running down it. Or maybe up, depending on how you choose to view it.
It’s actually the back wall of the police station on 3rd Ave. Gosh, how exciting this is. Yep. Uh huh.

The Safeway grocery store on 1st Ave. had some lovely looking tomatoes on display in front of the building yesterday… couldn’t resist getting a photo. Or two.
I thought about trying to juggle a few, but I doubted the employees and nearby customers would appreciate it if I dropped them and they splattered. Which they would.
Stroll
Sep 26th
Just a shot of 3rd Ave., across from City Hall. I like the “old school” look provided by the decades-old buildings… like it’s from another time period.
Cut In
Sep 25th
I’m having a serious case of brain drain, so I can’t remember exactly where I took today’s photo. I’m almost positive this is the back of a building on 3rd Ave., but I don’t have a clue as to which one.
I think the wood part of the building was a doorway at one time, though with the pipe running across it, I think it’s fair to say it has long since been closed off.
Trickle In
Sep 24th
I don’t normally post two flower macros in a row, but I’ve been trying to take as many flower shots as I can before the colder weather sets in and the flowers go away until next year.
This is the center of a sunflower I found across the street from Pioneer Park.
Queen Anne
Sep 23rd
The flower Queen Anne’s Lace grows wild in these parts, and it’s a flower I just love. That’s especially true now that I’ve seen it up extra close via my camera’s macro lens. The flower is actually comprised of several tiny flower… ettes? I don’t know what to call them, but they really are adorable.
Central Receiving
Sep 22nd
I had occasion to be in the lot on the west end of Norpac Cannery the other day (they provided the parking for the car show I attended), so I thought it would be a good chance to take a picture of one of the buildings from behind the fence which surrounds the property. This appears to be a docking bay for delivery trucks.
Smoke Signals
Sep 21st
I went back out to the pond yesterday off of Cascade Highway (see the photo I posted the other day). As it happened, what appeared to be a field burning on an area farm field made for an interesting backdrop and reflection in the water.
