Red seems to be the theme for this posting. The variety in nature amazes me. The different structural elements of each plant seem endless.

: Vivace

The building which housed Vivace Coffee in Seattle for many years. They have moved up Broadway to a new location. This building looks like it may be razed to make room for the new light rail station.

: Preparation for light rail station.

Although the new light rail will be underground on Capital Hill there needs to be a station so many buildings are coming down. This building was just across the street from the Vivace Building north of Cal Anderson Park.

For those who may be following my blog I apologize for not posting for a few days. I was in Portland and while there caught a flu bug that put me out of commission for nearly 3 days.

: Cactus

I’m probably one of the few people on the planet that has killed every cactus plant I have ever owned or nourished. Most plants do well under my care, but every cactus I have tried to grow and care for has ended up dried and withered within months.

: Cactus cluster

I guess that is why I enjoy viewing & shooting them. Just amazing symmetry!

: What does this mean?

This statue is located near the entrance of a major chain hotel in Seattle. I am not sure who this character is or what the meaning of this object might be. Any guesses?
