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.

Not exactly revolutionary, but this is my 1776 posting on this blog.

*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! 🙂 )

Like the extra-large hinges and pulls.

An example of modern design. From the outside it seems to lack something for me. Where to start?

There are some interesting brick buildings on 12th Ave. on First Hill in Seattle. Some have sadly fallen prey to graffiti, posters and more.

Yellows and Reds

Yellows and reds seem to dominate the images today, on Mother’s Day. A nice gesture to a mother would be a good thing to consider today. My mom wanted a ride to the local hardware/garden store today so she was easy to please. She now has a new wine barrel to replace an old one to plant in. There was an unadvertised sale on this item. She would have jumped for joy, but I think her jumping days are behind her.
