A few more images from our backyard.
More Backyard Blossoms
Even squash have a cool blossom! Just showing some of the flora activity in our backyard this summer.
This Years Day Lilies
A few views of this years day lilies from around our backyard. They do help brighten up the garden and yard.
This Years Iris
A few views of the irises from our flower garden.
Two Views
Two views from behind the main complex of buildings that was the Fisher Flour Mill. The ‘mud’ puddle was more than just water and dirt. The green, slimey stuff gave off a really nasty odor, very reminiscent of the Gowanus Canal smell I have experienced. Like death, it is a very unique smell that you never forget.
Fisher Flour
Electrical conduit to nowhere and a crumbling pier-shot through a cyclone fence. Two of the cruise ships that travel from Seattle to Alaska every summer are in the background.
Monday Flora
I needed a break from the Fisher Flour Mill. Today, something to brighten up the Seattle doldrums.
Fisher Flour Mill ( Con’t., still )
More vegetation in odd places,, broken windows and signage. Apparently King County Solid Waste Management Division is the current owner. On my to-do list is to find a contact inside the organization to field some of my questions.
Fisher Flour Mill ( Con’t. )
Camera that could be operational. Space between buildings and vegetation that seems to grow in the oddest of places.
Fisher Flour Mill (Con’t.)
Peeling paint, rusting pipes and just the odd rip rap left behind.
Inside the Fisher Flour Site
The floor boards were so spongy I had to walk on the planks. When I posted this image on Flickr I referred to it as a “creepy corridor”. 
Fisher Flour Mill
The abandoned Fisher Flour Mill on Harbor Island in Seattle. This time I went inside the compound ( I think it is called trespassing ) so will be posting some images caught during that visit.
Copper Top
If you can afford it, copper is a nice touch that ages well.
Fighting Mad!
This crab needs to work on his/her social skills :-). 
Bovine
Just what every front yard needs, a life-sized, rusty bovine.
Red Vespa & Field
This open space, adjacent to Alberta Street, which is highly commercial, seemed kind of odd to me. I mostly like the clouds, I think. The Vespa obsession continues :-).
Blue Horseshoe
Something to chase away the Blue Meanies?
Street Sign
This street sign in NE Portland is nearly overgrown with vines.
Photo Within a Photo
Wherever I walk I tend to find odd objects, things out of place. I found this framed photo walking around NE Portland a few weeks ago. The photo seems to be a partial view of a house.
