To celebrate our 28th today, we start with a cold early morning three-mile hike along Mill Creek to Rooks Park.
Then in the late afternoon, we window shop and explore downtown’s back streets.
From my third floor bathroom window, I have been able to look across the back parking lot to the City Hall on the left, Rose Street beyond and the plaza where Peopeomoxmox stands. Peopeomoxmox (aka Yellow Bird) was chief of the Walla Walla tribes before the arrival of Lewis and Clark around 1806. Here we see my bathroom 50mm view, contrasted by a cropped detail and finally a personal excursion across the street to the site itself for something a bit more up close.

Around Halloween time, we posted an entry celebrating Edward Gorey. This week’s The New Yorker presents an article by Joan Acocella that you can read (or hear) for much more information on this intriguing artist and author.
