There are two beautiful doves that have lived around our backyard for years. Today I noticed they are making a nest underneath the hibachi on our neighbor’s fire escape. I hope they have babies. They seem very excited about our dryer lint. They are gathering it from outside our laundry room.

Ok, lots of photos, I of course didn’t edit them very much so you will be forced to look at pictures of my steering wheel as well as duplicates that will put you to sleep. But oh well, atleast I share. Oregon Road Trip Photos Prehistoric Gardens, Port Orford, Oregon Jon’s band: Summer Ono 20…

I woke up to a white klammath falls! –alanna

I made it to klammath falls tonight through heavy rains. I got into town pretty late and it’s a sleepy town to begin with. I am blessed with a microwave in my hotel room so I got some Smokey Robinson’s red beans and rice. No joke! Smokeyrobinsonfoods.com check it out, aw yeah, boy. Hopefully it…

Here’s a very dark photo of jon’s band playing last night in portland. They rocked the house. –alanna

I am at this very moment, watching my friend’s band set up for a show at Tribe theatre and art gallery in portland. This place has cushey chairs and I am fully reclined while browsing the interweb on my sidekick. This is a little to easy and relaxing. I was hoping to see 20 minute…

Today I had to sleep off satan’s evil trickery so I’ve been really lazy. It’s been nice. –alanna

I look like I’m in pain but really it’s the sun. Pretty beach –alanna

I visited the prehistoric gardens in port orford and shot some new photos. This dinosaur demanded to come with me. He’s now my new travel buddy. This morning I ate at the good harvest cafe in crescent city. It was so good and the guy that served me breakfast could have been jason cook’s brother.…

I found the place my mug came from and got two. I am so happy. I wish when you looked at this picture, troche you heard the same music of joy and wonderment that I hear –alanna

I can’t tell if you can make anything out in this photo. It’s a photo of the olive pit sign in corning. It’s one of my favorite places to go on a road trip. I stocked up on olives and raspberry newtons and sesame sticks. I’m now in crescent city. I stayed at the same…

   New encaustics of birds and ships. I like them. Bad pictures. Stupid rain. I’m off to Portland now. I miss Tom already.

The parking gods decided to cut me some slack. When I went outside to try and park the car again, order they offered up a very lovely spot right in front of our building. Thank you parking gods! Now I can paint while liistening to the Decemberists, buy instead of having to paint in silence…

Bad day for Alanna. Very bad day. I will shut myself in for the rest of the day and not go out again. That is, if I can ever find a parking space. I’m kinda blocking a driveway right now but I really just needed to sit and calm down for a minute. I am…

I had a few minutes before my painting class so I stopped by the beach at crissy field. It’s nice today but windy. –alanna
