Old Signage
Rummaging around South Park on a Sunday morning. Came across these old signs.
Saturday
If it ever stops raining in Seattle I will be grabbing my camera bag and heading outside. For the moment I still have webbed feet. Apparently this has been one of the wettest Winters we have had in 60+ years. Since Oct. 2016 we have had only 3 days where the sun has shown itself.

Blog Stats
I rarely check the Blog Stats, but did so today and thought I would share them.

Thanks to all who have visited my blog the past 8 years.
I owe a debt of gratitude for the encouragement of my wife for getting this project off the ground and to a friend, Deb, who sadly passed away two months before I launched the blog.
Best regards!
Flora Untitled
Kind of on a floral image thing right now. More NYC photos coming, once I get through this phase :-).
Discarded
Location: South Park, Seattle.
Music Update
I’ve updated the Music Bar, on the bottom right hand column, to include the full EP, Inburst, by our son ( aka: Missing Vwls). His music can be found and purchased on Bandcamp.com. Years ago he was in an instrumental band in Seattle, WA called, Autofirelife.
Check it out!
Shameless plug! :-).
Enjoy!!

Untitled for Monday
I posted the original color image of this sunflower recently. Thought I would post this version today.
Music Bar
I added a music bar to the front page of the blog. The song that is currently available was written and played by our son, who lives in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to being a musician/composer, he is a dad, works for Simon and Schuster full time, writes music reviews online and is currently finishing a book that will be published by Harper, Collins in Jan, 2018. Busy guy!
Bicycle Tourists
Bicycle tourists with cameras in DUMBO, Brooklyn. This cobblestone street provides a nice perspective on the Manhattan Bridge.
A quick note: I added a music bar to the blog. The song that is currently in the widget is a song written and played by our son, who lives in Brooklyn, NY.
West Seattle Vanished
West Seattle actually had a working flour mill, Stone Ground Mills. The mill produced Stone Buhr Flour, which we have used for years. The mill* is located at 26th and Yancy St., adjacent to what is now Nucor Steel. This area is technically known as Youngstown ( or North Delridge Area). The Steel mill was originally named Bethlehem Steel, one of the many owned by this large corporation years and years ago. Nucor Steel produces mostly rebar these days.
Here is a link to a thread which has additional photos of Stone Ground Mill. Stone Buhr Flour is still a viable product, I think. I haven’t been by the site since I took these photos, but according to the link above, it was there in 2010, which is about when I was tramping around the site (probably before the year on the watermark). The building was in bad shape 7 years ago, so I would suspect it is either gone now or …….?
*The mill is now located in Kent, Washington, approximately 10 miles south of Seattle.
