From the Archives

I wanted to step back in time and dig something out of the archives that I don’t think I have used before. This is a moon-rise over Elliott Bay and south of Downtown Seattle area. I think this was taken with a small, point and shoot camera over 5 years ago.

Elephant Scat

Elephant and scat or ?? do? From the location of the scat in the pen I wonder if the elephants are saying something to the patrons of the zoo? They could do their business in the back, out of sight. Instead, they do it near the fence where the viewing public stands. One of life’s minor mysteries, I guess.

Wisteria-envy! I would love to have a large, covered porch draped with purple wisteria. Even the vines are wonderful the way they wrap around everything, including themselves.

New look for Blog

On June 4, 2012 By Fred KingIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have been using a WordPress theme called ChaoticSoul the past couple of years. I thought it was time to shake things up. The title of this theme is Chateau. I have a little more creative control over the look of the blog in terms of colors and other options with this theme. The header photo is something I can change, for example. Currently the photo you see is of the old 14th St. Bridge in South Park, Seattle that is currently being replaced.
