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.

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.

*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.

Modernity

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

Yellows and Reds

On May 13, 2012 By Fred KingIn blossoms, Capitol Hill, Flowers, garden, SeattleLeave a comment

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.

Clock

Discovered this clock on the side of a building on First Hill, Seattle. Reminded me of the clocks from the 60’s that my parents had in our house.

SAAM- Art Deco

On April 26, 2012 By Fred KingIn Art, buildings, Capitol Hill, SeattleLeave a comment

The entryway of the SAAM- Seattle Asian Art Museum-has a strong art deco flavor. This facility is part of SAM- Seattle Art Museum-, but located in Volunteer Park. I think it’s collection is permanent with few changes over the years. I just loved the art deco touch.
