Alki Lighthouse
Located on Beach Drive in West Seattle. One of the last lighthouses on the West Coast to be automated.
Note: My seven year old Macbook Pro expired yesterday. I did most, but not all, of my photo and photoblog work on that machine. Apparently the logic card died and Apple, in the spirit of planned obsolescence, does not supply that part any more. So, I am in the process of deciding what to do next. Since 2008 I have enjoyed doing this blog and don’t want it to end due to some mechanical failure.
Sunday Morning on/in the Duwamish River
The top photo, in background, you can see work being done on the river bank. They are totally cleaning and refurbishing the bank and I believe the area will be some sort of conservancy area when done.
Cedar River Trail
At the start of the Cedar River Trail. New Boeing planes with the protective wrap, a heron and a view of the Renton section of the river looking south.
Behind the PP Market
A few scenes outside the Pike Place Market, Seattle: dog’s eye view, break time, etc.
Rusty Structure
Sections of an old train trestle along the Cedar River that is now used as a footpath.
Crocosmia-Pre-Bloom
These Crocosmia plants are courtesy of my next door neighbor. I kept an eye on her plants for a couple of weeks, during the evenings, to capture some images of the blossoms as they progressed.
Hosta Blossoms
We have two Hosta plants in pots that are always enjoyable to photograph each summer.
Dew Drops, etc.
A few more images from our backyard.
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.
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.
