Woodford and Beacon Streets, just up the road from Woodford’s Corner.

Nice, hot summer day when this was taken. I’d spent much of it on the roof painting the dormer. Nice view up there! Definitely need a rooftop deck!

Anyway, the folks behind this sign (I don’t mean that literally), our neighbors, were moving. So “Moving Sale” might have been more accurate. I believe he ran a little business buying, fixing up, and then selling older luxury automobiles.

When this picture was taken there happened to be no cars parked on the street. Throughout the day, though, a lot of people saw the sign, parked, looked at the dork with the iPhone and paint bucket on the roof of the golden-colored house, and walked over to find a bargain.

Nice, hot summer day…

This will be the last ShakeItPhoto pics for a while.

Another ShakeItPhoto picture, again from alley behind the Congress Building. Lots of subject matter back there!

Alarm bell and sign in alley behind the Congress Building, where Yellahoose is located. This was taken with ShakeItPhoto, a fun iPhone app approximating Polaroid pictures. You even shake the phone to get the photo to “process.” Fun!

Brother and family from South Carolina were in town, so we took the ferry out to Peaks Island for lunch. That’s the mail boat and Little Diamond Island on the right.

Last experiments with the iPhone Plastic Rocket app for a while. This was taken where Deering Avenue meets Forest Avenue and Woodford Street. I may have been standing in the middle of the street, being a complete hazard, when I took this. C’est la vie!

Would it not be great if there were a light rail train running through Woodford’s Circle? Perhaps a stop on the left after Saunders Street across from Rite Aid.

Here are two more pics of Woodford’s: Looking down Woodford St. towards Back Cove, and looking north down Ocean Ave.

Another experiment with iPhone and Plastic Rocket.

For me I think pictures taken around the house are a cop out. I want to get out and take pictures of the world! But Cousin John turned me on to Plastic Rocket, an iPhone app mimicking cheap plastic cameras, and I had to try it out. Today’s picture and tomorrow’s picture are my experiments with it, taken around the house (in the back yard, to be specific).

Pretty cool!

Eliphalet Clark was apparently one of the very earliest homeopathic physicians in the United States. Here’s one link.

This house, presumably where Dr Clark based his practice here in Portland, is in our neighborhood (Deering). I’ve often wondered about it.
