Shopping cart

Quite a different cargo carried in this shopping cart from those in yesterday's blip; someone's worldly belongings.  This is not unique to Portland.  In my documenting of the city where I currently live I've never uploaded an image of someone who lives on the street, and that's for privacy reasons, people living on the street have no privacy.  With this picture I hope I've maintained this.  I've just been feeling with all the variety of Portlanders I share on here with my street photographs there's been a gaping hole in presenting a balanced view of how Portland really looks with this omission.  The number of people without homes here is terribly high. I know this is the case in many cities, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles...  



There's been a perceptible shift in the weather into early fall, the light has changed, even some leaves are changing color - maples are always the first it seems.  

And now there is Halloween candy already in the supermarket.

70ºF with rain showers.
