First Hill Fun
A sheared-off telephone pole now used as an art project of sorts. Baby crying sign…?????
14th Street Bridge
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.
White Bleeding Hearts
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.
Layers of Paint
This building on First Hill has been abused so badly over the years. Multiple layers of paint and posters nearly disguise the brick walls.
Purrfect Sign
Not exactly revolutionary, but this is my 1776 posting on this blog.
Squiggly’s*
*A non-botanical term to describe the little feeler-like do-widgets in the center of the flower. ( Three hyphenations in one sentence- a new, personal best! 🙂 )
Entry
Like the extra-large hinges and pulls.
Modernity
An example of modern design. From the outside it seems to lack something for me. Where to start?
First Hill, Seattle
There are some interesting brick buildings on 12th Ave. on First Hill in Seattle. Some have sadly fallen prey to graffiti, posters and more.
