ABC Wednesday – O is for Octopus

103107_octopus_greek_cusina

Before we moved to the Northwest Hills last October, I used this great big purple octopus as a landmark when driving through downtown. Now every day after work I ride a bus whose route goes right through the intersection of SW Washington and SW 4th Avenue. Often I wonder about the Greek Cusina, proud displayer of the octopus. You can read about the restaurant here.

I took the first photo below on Sept. 14 when I went on an ABC Wednesday trek throught parts of downtown. I took the second photo below on Oct. 30 on the way home. What can you find in both photos that you would not expect to find in photos taken six weeks apart?

Believe me, this is the only octopus I ever want to be underneath!

A Big White Duck, on Broadway



This is the Portland Ducks' Hydra Terra amphibious touring vehicle. The Intro-DUCK-tion to Portland Tour covers downtown by land and the Willamette River. Mama and I need to check this out, soon!
