the beauty of rain





The Portland rain often causes a beautiful light and reflects things differently .
Notice how the dragons shines.
The pictures show the head, then wings that are seats, the leg and finally the tail.

    That is one big piece of clay. How did it get there and what is the creaters name.? I'l bet the project managers would like to see their names in print. Love, [your not-secret admirer], Deane

wild flowers return

Its been a while since I posted about the water garden. Today is May 1st and discovered some wonderful flowers hiding in the garden. Its amazing they are still here since the Portland school district has hired a crew to clean up or I should say clean out these gardens. Over the past 2 years these crews of men would arrive and cut down all low lying plants. thus devastating the plants and fauna. But the delicate wild flowers are still there and here some pictures. You will see some wild camus in bloom, columbine, and shooting star enjoy. Oh and the tree frogs have grown quite a bit.

Its been some time since I photographed the water garden. It has been a very cool and wet winter in Portland. All plants and animals are at least 3-4 weeks behind schedule. Today Jason and a parent volunteer zapped the fish to get an idea what was in the pond. The shock didn't hurt the fish but allowed easy capture and release. Last summer I placed 6 catfish and one Crappie. Today we recovered 5 of the catfish and the Crappie had nearly doubled his size. Check out these pictures they are cool.
