There is daylight in Portland

[olivermoss]

Not that you'd know from my pics, but it does happen:



But then it gets dark:







I was shooting this porch:



When the door opened and a women in a flowing black dress came out:



I was startled! Anyway, I left after that because I wasn't going to take pictures of a women chilling on her porch.

Found more embroidery:





This tree looks worried:



This tree also has a concern:



What they are looking at:



A tree that has become infested with gnomes! I feel like some people in this town feel the same about gnomes that I do!

House that has lots of spider decorations, including this guy who has become a spider snack:



And is still struggling:

Watch on YouTube

I took this in full dark and assumed Skelly was painting the porch, so I tried to do a composition around that. Turned out to be painting a random person:



Still a cute idea. I might reshoot it later.

I love all of these!

(Even the one you were startled on gives it a very cool "apparition" type effect!)

The embroidery is very pretty, and I love all the chalk art. And the spooky spider snack!

Those gnomes though... that poor tree better watch out, I hear they're an invasive species, very dangerous.

(I like that even in the progressive pride flag one, there's a skeleton hand reaching up, haha.)

Thank you!

Yeah, I liked how the messed up shot turned out, so I added it :)

Gnome infestations are a real tragedy. We need more T Rexes to nom them up.

[mistressofmuses]

More gnome-eating T Rexes should absolutely be introduced to the ecosystem to prevent some of these tragedies.

Excellent shots! I liked the "apparition" shot as well as the gnome-eating tree, hee!

Yeah, that 'failed' shot turned out pretty cool.

Gnomes! They are my nemesis.
