Teshka in summer sunshine on Broadway Bridge.

I don't like to see these dark glasses as they obscure the eyes and hide so much of the personality. But here you can see Teshka is squinting even behind her glasses, the light is so bright.

As I post this the seasons here have now changed dramatically. Portland is once again encased in its customary quiet gray gloom. Someday we will appreciate this reminder of what the summer was like.

Portland, August 2006.
