A friend was mentioning the other day one of the advantages of having actual prints is accidentally running across old pictures, whereas with digital images, you have to go looking for them.

I agree — it’s easy to lose track and forget about old images, which is what led me to use a set generator program to create a new set of pictures each day from random selections from my Flickr stream.

I’m really looking forward to see what comes up! I’ve already seen images I feel like I’ve *never* seen before! Fun!

The images below are a handful of snapshots taken on our walks over the years.

“My barn having burned to the ground, I can now see the moon.”

“I’m standing on the moon, with nothing left to do, with a lonely view of heaven, but I’d rather be with you.”

“The moon, like a flower
In heaven’s high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night.”
-William Blake

Every year in February we get a nice break from winter with a burst of sunshine and warm temperatures. Yesterday, Shannon and I went for a walk around town; first to Stumptown Coffee, then through Laurelhurst Park, a stop at Staccato Gelato and then some smelling and shopping at The Perfume House.
