New Guy, Rufus (with crate face) and I went for a little stroll down Alberta St yesterday after a day trip to the coast. Now on the curbs of older streets in Portland you will find small rings anchored into the cement; these rings were put there long ago in "olden days" so horses could be tied up, as horse drawn wagons were the transportation of the day. While we had our little walk I noticed a small plastic horse with aircraft cable attached around it's waist (if horses do in fact have waists, perhaps I should have used the term "midsection" instead but it's too late now) and clamped onto one of the horsey rings. I thought it was an excellent photo op and New Guy suggested it would make a great PaD shot.
Here's an alternate photo that shows the ring and cable. Believe it or not these shots were not taken in B&W, this is the setting's natural, living color.
Alberta St is know as a somewhat eclectic area so this wasn't that odd of a sight. I'm glad someone had the sense of humor, equipment and energy to actually pull off this cute, harmless prank. It made my evening.....and now my blog.
Have a happy and safe Independence Day! Don't blow your fingers off!

You should have put a little plastic cowboy on it.
I usually carry little plastic cowboys and indians with me but I had just change handbags and forgot to replace the cowpoke.
That's the coolest idea ever. I'm tempted to attach a little horse to the ring in front of our house, but would have to put an original twist on it so that it wouldn't be a complete knock-off.
Alberta st. is also a artsy street so I wonder if someone did it as an art projectwas.
It would be cool if someone would do that to all the rings around the ciyt, cind of like a Warhal project
I kept looking for the miniature horse droppings...
They have mini clowns that clean the poop up.
