a quick week

more like four days, but good long ones, at the coast.

Cannon Beach has all these adorable and plentiful feral (in the lightest sense) domestic rabbits. they are very unafraid.

we even went to the skate park, and didn't damage ourselves too badly. i, with much encouragement, totally skated over that mild-mannered lump in the middle. whatever, it's scarier than it looks.

anatole, true to form, enchanted a whole family of charming kids. he's like the pied piper, i swear, he has this ability to make all kinds of older and 'cooler' kids -- who by all rights would ignore and derride the little guy -- follow him to the ends of the earth. when we left, this trio was thanking us for the privilege of playing with him. it's inspiring, i'll tell you.

to see the whole set, as always, click the little flickr widget over there on the right. i haven't played with any of them really, so they are without the frills of explanations or chatter, but they're all in a group and there is lots of sunshine, water and sand. lovely.

happy summer vacation! i have an incredibly cumbersome backlog of images that has been intimidating me, but it's high time i start dealing with them (it's not that hard, vivian) and make some more activity happen here...this is just from Monday, a walk to the sandwich shop.

{pictorial}

i have been a very poor blog tender lately, and i apologize. i could say i've been busy, but we already knew that and it's only half an excuse anyway. how about a dose of random to cheer up this page, no people this time:

boardwalk

bridgetown

broken pier

sea vegetable

in descending order: seattle waterfront; the Steel, Broadway, and Fremont bridges in Portland (taken from the Burnside bridge); netarts beach and bay; and amazing sea vegetable.
