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.

A sampling of roof lines in the NW section of Portland. The details that went into the older, turn of the century homes are fascinating and fun.

A very weathered, old house in NW Portland, not far from downtown. This house could really use some TLC.

Webbed feet are not a requirement for living in Seattle, but it sure helps.

I have been following the progress of the new 14th St. Bridge from the start of the demo. Thought I would post something fairly recent to mark the progress. I have a few images from this past week, but they are still on the chip in the camera.

It seems like this variety of Bleeding Heart is seen less often than the pinkish version.

My Niece’s Daughter

I rarely do portrait work of any kind. I just find it easier to work with inanimate objects. Having said that I thought I would share a photo I took a few years back. I have always thought that I had really captured a moment in time with this image of my niece’s daughter.
