Neons are in! Street level matching colors, No. 2

color_chartreuse_bicycle_SW_6th_SW_Salmon_BeFunky

Another bicyclist, seen downtown on May 5, pedaling north on SW 6th Avenue at SW Salmon. I'd call his bicycle is a muted chartreuse green which nicely complements the big leaves on all of those trees. I also like the orange traffic cone, the orange "Don't Walk" hand on the traffic signal, and in the distance west up the sidewalk, there's another traffic signal with the orange hand and that pedestrian wearing a muted orange, long-sleeved shirt. I like the silver horizontal stripe on the orange traffic cone which is reflected in the stripes on the stone facade of the building on the corner. Plus, there's the yellow Broadway Cab waiting there at the curb, and up the street a block is another yellow Broadway Cab waiting at the opposite curb--several hotels nearby mean cabs nearby.

Are you as curious as I am about what he's got in that wooden basket on front of the bicycle? It looks like a vehicle battery when I open the original size of the image and can get an up-close look. Bicyling the battery to the vehicle--ah, Portland.

A primary color, yellow, lots and lots of yellow

I've had fun with Picnik's Exposure, Local Contrast, on these photos unless otherwise noted.

The Yellow Impala, 1964, 4-door, seen on NE Glisan

I circled the block, well a couple of blocks, to get this photo. I used Picnik to auto-fix the color, crop and resize it. How do you think it turned out?

Mustard, running down a crusty corn dog
Toward a walking teensy fellow.
High on his shoulder, a big ol'hot dog
Looks good in front of sunny yellow!

I took this photo at lunch on Tuesday. Look at that gorgeous blue sky!

If you're of a mind to, please go to Mrs. Nesbitt's Place for loads of other ABC Wednesday blogs! Look at the list of links per Mr. Linky.

YMCA Child Care, Downtown Portland



These bright yellow chairs caught my eye as I walked along SW 2nd Avenue, north to Washington. After work hours when parents are nigh, it appears the children at the ODS Tower day care gather elsewhere to wait for Mama or Daddy.
