We took the Hugonot out for a walk this morning and grabbed some more flower pics from the hood.

Give Me A Shot Of 151

I think these guys are a little off the beaten path for sightings.  Maybe they should really start hunting the Yeti instead...

Heading out for delicious Thai food here in a bit.  Sun is out (was out when I started this) and all is well.

After the Rain Walk About

Well, the weather has returned to somewhat normal for this time of year and we were able to grab a good walk this morning with the Hugo.

A couple of shots from the trek...

Nice drops...

Fab Hair Day 2K10!

Kudos to the weather Gods (CO2?)!  It has been 7 weeks since we had a day at 32 or less here in Portland.  The flowers are raging and the geese are gone.

Makes for great pup walks (rather than perp walks).

Some photos from yesterdays walkabout...

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is what happens when you get scissors with your pizza at Nostrana...

And last but, not least, if you feel the need for a makeover, just head on over to Marie Claire's site.  I think these looks are both fabulous...

Estero Florida Walk About

Turned out to be a nice day in Florida despite not being super warm.

Headed out for a walk with the Mamacita and took some photos...
