And the actual photowalking post

Ah, the lovely streets of Portland:





"Open"



Same kitty as from the Cats Staring At Me post, but a different shot:





I almost cut this last shot for two reasons. One, the whole yard was just covered in plastic, mostly those planters. Cluttered yards like that I tend to skip. And there is, no joke, a shop selling doll heads turned into planters just down the block, just dozens of cabbage patch dolls and barbie dolls and others. Actually, the shop window might have been the better shot.

Oh my, the deer(?) with the fairy lights is like from a fairy tale! 😍

It is really lovely! I didn't notice the handprint on it's back until I edited the picture.

I love the little library stump post (and of course the cat). That lighted deer reminds me of the moose sculpture that's inside the Dartmouth Hitchcock hospital.

Glad you liked them :)

That deer sculpture! Where you live seems so magical. Of course, I love the cat shot—so kind of your model to give you permission to capture them!

Do you know why Prescott Cafe's windows boarded shut? LOL. I imagine them not being boarded would, you know... solve their problem.

The doll head planters are very interesting, haha. I wonder if they sell a lot!

The deer sculpture is great.

I don't know why the cafe was boarded up. We had a real window smashing problem for a while and my grocery store and a lot of other places just gave up on trying to have windows for a long while. Most places are back to having windows... mostly. One grocery store near me redid their window walls to just have it be wall now.

I don't see the doll head planters around a lot, but I see some.

I love that shed!

And the street, haha. I know you've said you want more infrastructure pictures, and that's a good one.

But... is the cafe open???

What a pretty kitty!

Ah, creepy dolls.

A surprising amount of Portland roads are just like that. It's nuts.

The kitty was very cute! I saw a bunch that day.
