Look! A daylight shot! Rumors that I am a vampire were greatly exaggerated!

I went out one night in the rain, and the rain was keeping all the kitties on porches:





Cozy porch with XMas decor still up:



Seriously, people just leave that up all year here.

Another Little Free Library with reading bench:









Yard full of lettuces and kale gone somewhat feral:



Kitty sitting above all the mixed greens on ... some sort of structure?



This wasn't as interesting as I'd hoped, but I've spent a year mostly shooting other people's art. I am trying to do some other types of shots. Also, sucking at something and keeping with it is the first step towards getting good:



I've been pre-planning my routes to not re-do the same areas and start to fill in blocks. One of the 'roads' I was on, was this:



Let me stress here, this is a road with houses fronting on it. Some houses whose property line touches this 'road' and no other road. Coming from the other side you can drive on it for a bit, but then it becomes this path. I mean, at least Portland's infrastructure problems are cute and aesthetic. I'd actually love to have grown up on a road like that. Just dip into some trees to go home.

Ah, some vampires can walk in daylight according to the old legends ;)

Fun variety of pictures. The road at the end makes me think a fantasy voyage is about to unfold :)

Love the kitties doing their own thing and projecting an aura of fluff, curiosity and mystery.

Thanks!

Yeah, the state of some of the roads here is cool. There was a plan to actually finish paving the city by the end of this year, but I assume that got scrapped.

Oh gosh, those kitties on the porches! Also, that Bernie Sanders is very funny.

Bernie startled me! I looked over and it looked like he was looking right at me. I thought it was a person and not a cardboard thingie at first.

So many kitties!

I love the super aesthetic "road". I would love to live on something like that, tbh, but calling it a road still seems... optimistic? Generous? Overstating it a bit?

Legally, it's a road. It has street addresses. It's just the legal reality and actual reality don't match up great :)
