New look for Blog
I have been using a WordPress theme called ChaoticSoul the past couple of years. I thought it was time to shake things up. The title of this theme is Chateau. I have a little more creative control over the look of the blog in terms of colors and other options with this theme. The header photo is something I can change, for example. Currently the photo you see is of the old 14th St. Bridge in South Park, Seattle that is currently being replaced.

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.
White Bleeding Hearts
It seems like this variety of Bleeding Heart is seen less often than the pinkish version.
