It's A Grand Home

Grand Street ~ Spring 2005

This was the first home I purchased after moving to Astoria.  It was a very compact little Sears home.  The old growth timber was probably worth more than the house.  These little homes can be found throughout Astoria.  Many didn't come with bathrooms, so remodels often had to be creative about adding one.  Loved the look of this house in Spring.

Queen of the West


Queen of the West Paddlewheeler ~ approximately 2005

This is an older picture of Queen of the West, a paddlewheeler boat that has made Astoria a port of call over the years as it travels the Columbia River.

Sunlight in the attic

Flavel House ~ April 2013

Guest Blogger Jack Applegate sent us something a little different today.  This is sunlight across an antique doll in the Flavel House Museum attic.   Just a tad unsettling yet beautiful at the same time.

Waterfront

Astoria River Walk ~ April 2013

Thank you Guest Blogger Jack Applegate!  Wonderful photo.  
As with many locals, today I was volunteering at the Astoria Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival so ran short on time to find a daily image.  This was a great treat to arrive in my email today!

Sunshine!

The Peter Iredale ~ April 22, 2013

A stunning day at the beach!  The Peter Iredale is likely the most photographed icon on the North Coast.  She is an arresting image that seems to be ever-changing as the light and sand drifts play across her rusting bones.

Another Misty Day

11th and River Walk ~ 2013

Just another misty day in Astoria watching the ships go by.  The building to the right used to have a fish market and I think the back was rented out as a net or gear shed.

Downtown Astoria ~ April 17, 2013

This is a wonderful example of how to create a lively, fun and colorful garden in a small space.  Who knows this garden?

Blue Scorcher

15th and Duane ~ January 2013

Blue Scorcher Bakery is classic Astoria.  Where locals gather for their coffee or lunch as they collect their thoughts for the day and visitors come to enjoy the world class baked goods.

Sea Lions

East Mooring Basin ~ April 2013

Guest Blogger Jack Applegate shared this fun photo of Sea Lions kissing at the East Mooring Basin.  They are a loud barking bunch when they gather on the docks.  These guys seem a bit small compared to the usual boisterous bunch that typically hangs out.

Low Tide

Astoria-Megler Bridge ~ April 10, 2013

Here is a picture of the Astoria-Megler Bridge looking out over a low tide.  The bridge is always a great subject for photographs.

The Call of the Mermaid

Maritime Memorial ~ April 8, 2013

The Call of the Mermaid Took Them On Out
To The Bleak Afternoon of a January Sea.
We're Taking on Water Came the Dim Shout.
And the Spit Called the Peacock Hard Alee.

This is one of several tributes found at the Maritime Memorial located on the River's Edge in Union Town.  Today's hard rain and grey skies seemed to me a good time to share this photo.

Everything's Beachy

Fort Stevens Beach ~ March 31, 2013

Lots of people enjoyed the beach this weekend and left behind some interesting sculptures and other beach artifacts.  This is a huge hole someone dug and carved out a couple of steps.
