I noticed the other day that the building that had long housed the Little Market on Willamette and Prospect is now home to a pizza restaurant. I don't know how long it's been open, I only just now discovered it. It sure smelled good as I stood across the street to take this picture.
The first of every month is Theme Day for City Daily Photo bloggers, and this month the theme is lines. I thought this picture fit the bill quite nicely, although I didn't take it with the theme in mind. I caught this little squirrel in an agony of indecision: cross the street, or turn around and run back in the other direction? It's a good thing this was a quiet avenue with little traffic. And the fact that he was frozen in place for a few seconds with a snack in his mouth made it easy for me to snap a picture of him. For the curious, he did eventually decide to run across, but naturally he waited until a motorcycle was heading straight for him. Not to worry -- he made it across safely with his snack.

Pat and I went to the annual Denver Powwow a couple of weekends ago. You don't have to be Indian to go, everyone is welcome but yes, nearly everyone there is Indian. I've been to powwows before but not this one (although Pat has attended it several times). It was HUGE. There were thousands of dancers and drummers competing, from places as far flung as Saskatchewan. It was so cool! If you ever get a chance to go to a powwow, you should. It's a great experience.
Spotted while waiting in line at Michael's yesterday. This woman's hair was so pretty I had to get a picture.
I saw this gravestone in Fairview Cemetery on Thursday, as I was visiting the grave of a friend. This poor family lost four children at unbearably young ages, probably from entirely preventable illnesses. I can't imagine the pain. We do not have to go back to this. Vaccinate your children, I beg you.
I never knew we had a Guamanian barbecue restaurant here! Heck, I didn't even know there was such a thing as Guamanian barbecue! Since I'm a vegetarian it's pretty unlikely I'll ever eat there, but I happen to have a friend who's half Guamanian and I'm definitely going to point her at this place. I'm sure she'll love it.
I've been intrigued by this mural downtown for some time now, but only recently got a chance to take a picture of it. It's so cool.
