Superbowl Sunday. Chris and I had a surprisingly good day skiing der Hood. We ditched the car in Govy, stuck out our thumbs and the first car up Timberline Rd. obliged. The clouds lifted and the snow up high was as good as Hood snow gets.

Shaves my head is more like it. Seven bucks a whack. I give her a 10 and she keeps the change. She’s been around Portland awhile and each time she whacks me(my hair!) I am reminded of a bygone era. An era that’s fading fast. We have a shoot scheduled for December which is part of a project titled Voices of Et Cetera. I’m really, really looking forward to it.

My stylin' stylist Darlene.

Chanterelles are more pleasant and are easier to clean when dry!

Primo picking today.

Hood Ski Bowl besides the lack of lines at the upper bowl chair, the WPA era warming hut and the overall friendly vibe is the proximity of Mirror Lake. Enough said.

¿hoofing it or hooving it?

The feeder outside our kitchen window froze solid during the last arctic blast. The Hummingbirds seemed to protest by chirping loudly and incessantly. Food must be scarce for them this time of year so we attempted to regularly thaw the feeder and place warm sugar water in it from time to time.

It would have been nice to get out more this year. Some of the best and largest ones I found were emerging from under a large log:

Chanterelles Under A Log In The Sun

Chantrelles November 14, 2008

I met two Russians with a beautiful 4-month-old German Sheperd. They assumed I was Ukrainian because I drive a VW.
