The "Azalea" (see ALT for explanation)

#Photography #Oregon #Newport #PNW #OregonCoast #FishingVessels
An image of the "Azalea," a wooden fishing boat at Port Dock 7 (a place where Newport ties up abandoned vessels). The "Azalea" represents a sad reality for the older wooden fishing vessels. As they age, they become maintenance headaches, eventually becoming too expensive to be economically viable. So what often happens, the owners literally walk away--they quit paying the dock fees and the dock authorities finally take possession of the boats (I do not know the details of how the "Azalea" got there). They sit under the care (or lack of) by the port authorities until someone either pays the back fees or the boats become write offs. So I go to the old dock on occaision to photograph these old wooden boats before they disappear.

Some fall colors

A Joseph's coat rose: See alt for the story behind this.

#Photography #Oregon #Newport #PNW #OregonCoast #Roses #Flowers
While riding my bike, I spotted a beautiful yellow and pink rose on a bush in someone's front yard. I stopped, got off my bike and went over to photograph one of the blooms. A woman came out of the house and I felt a little defensive about taking a photo of her yard, I started to explain that I thought it was a beautiful rose. The upshot of it was that she told me that she takes cuttings of her roses and gives them to her friends, and she asked me If I wanted a rooted cutting. I said yes, and the cutting she gave me had some buds on it. My wife transplanted it when I got home, and it just bloomed a few days ago.
