minimal?

As you know, I am terribly fond of traveling. What you might not know is - a little creature accompanies me on my trips.

Yes, it's a bit like the roaming gnome prank. It's just Portlandyer. Oddly, I don't have any photos of my minimal? in Portland or in Orange County.

The minimal? came from Portland, just like me. My friend Shanno bestowed it upon me several Christmases ago. Heather Q is the mother of the animal?s and minimal?s. As I understand it, they first appeared as stickers - popping up on bathroom stalls from PDX to NYC. Eventually they morphed into three dementional(sic) beings.

There are sixteen places represented in the slideshow. Some of the places (such as Colorado and Japan) have more than one photo. Can you figure them all out?



Sometimes I get a photo in an obvious place, sometimes not. Here's the complete list (sorry, it does not match up to the sequence in the slideshow).
