Weekly Astoria Sunday Market photo

Astoria Sunday Market ~ 2011

Yes, it's a Dog Meets Dog World.  This is another of my favorite shots of a dog meeting his likeness created by artist Ronni.  I am posting this one in honor of the Dog Day Afternoon event taking place this Sunday at the Market.

Whose Doors are These?

Astoria Event Center ~ August 2013

Love these doors and the stained glasswork above!  This is the Astoria Event Center.  The Astoria Event Center and adjacent Shipyard Bar & Grill was built in 1924 after the disastrous fire of December 1922.  The facility was purchased in 2007 by Fred and Chrissy VanHorn, who invested a great deal into the redevelopment of the interior.  New owners are taking over at the end of the month and the facility will be managed by my newly formed company, Columbia Bar Productions, LLC! </end of shameless plug>

Cruis'n through the summer.

Port of Astoria ~ August 20, 2013
It is unusual to have cruise ships arrive in August but we were graced with the Regatta today.  Market vendors got settled into a new location for the cruise ship market put together by Astoria Sunday Market to welcome cruise guests and crew.

Fish On!

West Mooring Basin ~ August 15, 2013

It's Buoy 10 time in Astoria!  The town is full of fishermen this time of year as they try their hand at fishing the Columbia River.  This photo was taken off the deck of a hotel room at Astoria Riverwalk Inn.

Bloomin' in Astoria

Lexington ~ August 9, 2013

This is one of my favorite home gardens.  I love that the yard is filled with flowers instead of a lawn.

Rock Formations

South Jetty ~ August 2013

People seem to enjoy creating odd rock formations at the beach for others to discover and enjoy.  These are two in a series of six or so formations I found one day while exploring the South Jetty.

There are so many wonderful hiking trails just minutes from downtown Astoria.  Lewis & Clark National Historical Park at Fort Clatsop has a number of well cared for hiking trails.

River Walk

River Walk ~ July 2013

Guest Blogger Karen Allen was playing with her camera phone during a stroll down the River Walk and sent a number of photos.  This is one of my favorites from that series.  Karen Allen and her husband Steve own the Wet Dog Cafe and Astoria Brewing Company.  Truly wonderful people!

Lavender Bliss

Astoria Sunday Market ~ July 28, 2013
I took a brief blogging break while my sister was visiting and my dog was having puppies.  Tonight Astoria Sunday Market picture of the week.  Lavender season is a very short season so fans flock to get their fix while it lasts.  One of my favorite things about the Market is the beautiful colors of all the flowers and produce.  This image along with many others posted here are taken by Elizabeth McMaster.
