Oregon Beaver

Astoria, Oregon ~ September 30, 2005

I found this very cool wood-burned driftwood at an estate sale here in Astoria. Somebody had more than average talent. It looks like an old engraving or a book illustration. The date above is when I took the photos, which was near the time I bought the piece. Unfortunately, I sold it on eBay, and it was probably one of the dumber things I've done; for what I got, I should have kept it. At least I have the photos.

There must be a story here, but I'll probably never know what it is. A pop-top hanger. Nice touch.

Hippo in the Sand

Woodland Park Zoo

I almost stumbled on this sculpture before I saw it. Then it took me a minute to realize what it was. Very cool, very creative. I love this sculpture! And real hippos are only a few paces away.
