At least I wasn't smoking when I passed out.

Three of the essential elements used to create a Japanese garden are stone, the “bones” of the landscape; water, the life-giving force; and plants, the tapestry of the four seasons.

Portland, Oregon. June 29, 2023.

Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet

The sexy boy smiled in dismay

She took out four twenties cause she liked round figures

Everybody's a queen for a day

Oh, babe, I'm on fire and you know how I admire your body, why don't we slip away

Although I'm sure you're certain, its a rarity me flirtin'

Sha-la-la-la, this way

 

Oh, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

Hey, baby, come on, lets slip away

 

Luscious and gorgeous, oh what a humpin' muscle

Call out the national guard

She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her knees

From off of the formica topped bar

And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly

And boldly out of this world

And despite peoples derision

Proved to be more than diversion

Sha-la-la-la, later on

 

And then sha-la-la-la-la, he entered her slowly

And showed her where he was coming from

And then sha-la-la-la-la, he made love to her gently

It was like she'd never ever come

And then sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

When the sun rose and he made to leave

You know, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

Neither one regretted a thing

   

Hey, that cunt's not breathing

I think she's had too much

Of something or other, hey, man, you know what I mean

I don't mean to scare you

But you're the one who came here

And you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave

I'm not being smart

Or trying to be cold on my part

And I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve

But you know people get all emotional

And sometimes, man, they just don't act rational

They think they're just on TV

 

Sha-la-la-la, man

Why don't you just slip her away

 

You know, I'm glad that we met man

It really was nice talking

And I really wish that there was a little more time to speak

But you know it could be a hassle

Trying to explain myself to a police officer

About how it was that your old lady got herself stiffed

And its not like we could help

But there was nothing no one could do

And if there was, man, you know I would have been the first

But when someone turns that blue

Well, its a universal truth

And then you just know that bitch will never fuck again

By the way, that's really some bad shit

That you came to our place with

But you ought to be more careful around the little girls

It's either the best or its the worst

And since I don't have to choose

I guess I won't and I know this ain't no way to treat a guest

But why don't you grab your old lady by the feet

And just lay her out on the darkened street

And by morning, shes just another hit and run

You know, some people got no choice

And they cant never find a voice

To talk with that they can even call their own

So the first thing that they see

That allows them the right to be

Why they follow it, you know, it's called bad luck

   

Believe me, that it's just a lie

That's what she tells her friends

cause the real song, the real song

Which she won't even admit to herself

Beat of a heart, the song lots of people know

It's a painful song

It'll only say the truth

It lasts for sad songs

Penny for a wish

A wish wont make you a soldier

A pretty kiss or a pretty face

Can't have it's way

The tramps like us, we were born to pay

 

Love is gone away

And there's no one here now

And there's nothing left to say

But, oh, how I miss him, baby

Oh, baby, come on and slip away

Come on, baby, why don't you slip away

 

Love is gone away

Took the rings off my fingers

And theres nothing left to say

But, oh how, oh how I need him, baby

Come on, baby, I need you baby

Oh, please don't slip away

I need your loving so bad, babe

Please don't slip away

Portland Head Lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

Even in colder weather, Portland Head Light, right outside the city, is a popular destination for both residents and visitors. Originally requested by George Washington in 1787, the current, still functioning maritime beacon was first lit in 1791. Cape Elizabeth, Maine, USA.

 

Hasta en días fríos, el faro de Portland Head, situado a las afueras de la ciudad, es un destino popular tanto para los residentes como para los visitantes. Solicitado originalmente por George Washington en 1787, este faro marítimo, que aún sigue en funcionamiento, se encendió por primera vez en 1791. Cape Elizabeth, Maine, Estados Unidos.

I seem to be enjoying the lighthouse and seascape theme at the moment hope you enjoy.

Portland Vacation 2011

in 1983 I flew from SF through Portland to Tri-Cities Washington on an engineering assignment, I was a brand new engineer :) The plane stopped in Portland Airport on the tarmac and let off some passengers and took on a few others. Waiting in the plane, I watched out the window, a dark gray cloud cover hung low over the whole area, I had never seen anything like that. It was the middle of summer. I thought I can never live in a place like this... fast forward 1987, we flew up for a weekend and loved Portland and the environment... fast forward to 1990, an opportunity came up and we moved to Portland, and now for 30 years, I have been in Portland... have I gotten used to her ways, I am still not sure :)

  

please see large :)

On my last day in Oregon, inthe afternoon, I walked around my sister's neighborhood photographing flowers in the gardens I came upon...and this was one of them:).
