Spotted in Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle recently.
My last post from home as we leave early Sat. for Ireland. I will make every effort to post while traveling. I’ve never considered this a travel blog, per se, but it might become one for a short time. On another informational note: After I return from Ireland I will need to have a conversation with the salon where my next show is due to start in September. A new wrinkle in my schedule has come up this past week and I will be out of town for a few days that first week of September. I hope to be able to get everything in place by no later than September 5th. I am working with both the Labor Day holiday as well as the artist who has the August slot. For the Seattle followers of this blog I will get something definitive by the end of Aug.
This is probably my last post from Portland this week. Saturday morning we leave for Ireland for ten days. Hopefully will post while traveling, Wi-Fi dependent.
There are quite a few metal scrapyards along the Duwamish River here in Seattle. This one, adjacent to the 8th St. Park ( actually a micro-park) closed recently. Now they have the daunting task of cleaning up the grounds.
After this week my posting may be a bit irregular. The following three weeks I will be on the road in Portland, OR. and then onto Ireland for 10 days. Posting from Portland is fairly easy as there is Wi-Fi at my daughter’s home; Ireland may be a bit more spotty, but I hope to post from our travels there as well ( via my iPad Mini), depending on availability of free Wi-Fi spots. I won’t be taking my Nikon, but between my iPhone and a Samsung St150F digital camera I hope things will work out. After we return from Ireland I have ten days to put the finishing ideas together for the September show I have at Capitol Hill Hair. I’ll be posting a notice about that as well as map and directions on both the blog and my Facebook page.
Was out shooting in one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods yesterday, Georgetown. Ran across these corn stalks next to a brick building. The stalks were at least 20′ high!
The two crews rowing were the first ones to pass under the new South Park Bridge. The last photo is looking south where the old Sheet Metal Shop of Plant II, Boeing, was located. During the bridge construction Boeing demolished the long vacated building (whose footprint ran right up the the waters edge, with no set back or buffer zone) and is now cleaning and refurbishing this section of shoreline of the Duwamish River. Pretty amazing transition. The Sheet Metal Shop moved to the city of Auburn, WA. in the mid-80’s-known as the 17-45 building. I actually worked in the 17-45 building for a year, 1999, before being moved to the Everett Plant 67 miles north, where I spent the last two years of my working career with the company. Seems like a lifetime ago.
