Peeling paint, rusting pipes and just the odd rip rap left behind.
Inside the Fisher Flour Site
The floor boards were so spongy I had to walk on the planks. When I posted this image on Flickr I referred to it as a “creepy corridor”. 
Fisher Flour Mill
The abandoned Fisher Flour Mill on Harbor Island in Seattle. This time I went inside the compound ( I think it is called trespassing ) so will be posting some images caught during that visit.
Copper Top
If you can afford it, copper is a nice touch that ages well.
Fighting Mad!
This crab needs to work on his/her social skills :-). 
Bovine
Just what every front yard needs, a life-sized, rusty bovine.
Red Vespa & Field
This open space, adjacent to Alberta Street, which is highly commercial, seemed kind of odd to me. I mostly like the clouds, I think. The Vespa obsession continues :-).
Blue Horseshoe
Something to chase away the Blue Meanies?
Street Sign
This street sign in NE Portland is nearly overgrown with vines.
Photo Within a Photo
Wherever I walk I tend to find odd objects, things out of place. I found this framed photo walking around NE Portland a few weeks ago. The photo seems to be a partial view of a house.
A Second Look
I’m pretty sure I have posted this photo in the near past. I also included an 8X10 print of it in my current display, that is about to end this Friday. What I have been curious about is the pair of lower legs in the photo, behind the old phone booth. I am not sure if everyone saw and got what I was trying to do with this image: Walking in front of the Coney Island Museum of “Freaks”, etc. is this torso-less being. To me, it was a curious juxtaposition, caught at just the right millisecond. A second later or earlier and the whole body is seen and the statement is lost. No matter how long and hard one looks at this image we will never know the ‘owner’ of the torso that must be attached to the legs we see.
Views from the Promenade
Views from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
Trio & Duo
I’m not sure why I am posting these images and even more unclear as to why I took them in the first place. But, here they are. 
Sand and …….
Coney Island, where sand and ghoulish smiles take over in the off-season.
Birthday Roses
Our daughter’s birthday is today, so for you…………L. Rose, a most youthful 37, hope today is as special for you as it was for us then.
Art Heist?
I was at the salon this morning, where I have had a photo display for the past 6 weeks, and discovered that someone has taken this photo, without contacting me about payment. If, perchance, that person is reading this blog ( since they did take the display card with my email) I encourage you to contact me ASAP. Although it is flattering that someone would consider my work worthy of theft, I am not in a position to give away my art.
