There are some interesting brick buildings on 12th Ave. on First Hill in Seattle. Some have sadly fallen prey to graffiti, posters and more.

Pink House- Explained
Due to an editing glitch I could not update the following post with the description I had in mind so I thought just doing a new post to explain the next post was the easiest solution for this Luddite. I normally would not use pink for a house color, but in the case of this house the color works. What impressed me the most was all of the architectural details and work that was and is being put into the house. After I took the first photo of the series a guy ( owner ) rushed out to the back porch and asked me what I was doing ( eeeeks, busted, worst fear for me ). I explained that I loved the details of the house and just wanted to get some photos to share later ( I didn’t mention this blog or whatever ). As we talked his disposition changed and he said he is still working on the details of the house. I don’t think I did more than scratch the surface. From every angle I looked I could see new details, shades of pink, etc. Even the detail on the fence posts was cool. If the photos will enlarge it would really help in seeing some of what I am writing about. Enjoy!
Call Box
I was nearly arrested taking this image. A Port of Seattle cop saw me with my camera pointed at this highly sensitive device and wanted to know what I was doing and why. I tried to explain the artistic merits of the look of the call box and how that might translate into something interesting to view. He looked at me like I was from the Planet Zeon and asked me to move along. I don’t think he was interested in debating those ‘artistic merits’.
Fashionable Tree
As items get dropped along the path at Green Lake they are subsequently picked up and placed on the nearest foliage in the hopes, I presume, the owner will return to claim the item.
Let’s Hang Out
New urban insect spotted at Green Lake.
Natural Curve
This tree on Beach Drive has a pronounced curve. I wonder if it is nature or nurture?

“Inconsiderate humans”!
10,000 Hits!
Yesterday, while I was out town, this blog arrived at the 10,000 hits milestone! I think it is interesting that it hit that mark on 11-11-11. Thanks to everyone who has come by to look at what I post. Needless to say, I am humbled and grateful for your curiosity and support. Thank you!
William Tell or William Burroughs?
I think this may be the shot William Burroughs had hoped to make on the fateful day he accidentally shot his wife, Joan, in the head, killing her. Playing a game of sorts by placing an apple on her head, on a mind altering drug, his aim was apparently low, much to the surprise and horror of those in attendance. If I remember correctly, Mr. Burroughs got away with just a verbal admonishment from the court as Joan Burroughs was apparently a willing participant in the ‘game’. Needless to say, we will never know if Burroughs had larceny in his heart that fateful day or if it was just a case of poor aim.
Footwatch Friday # Two
This is my second submission ( The big toe of the subject is not totally visible. You will have to take my word for it that the subject has also raised his/her big toe to signify #2). I have a sense this theme is not catching on as fast as I had thought.
Footwatch Friday
I thought this photo might inspire a new event for Fridays. Skywatch Friday seems fine, but Footwatch Friday seems more poetic and challenging.
Columbus Blown Off Course
The true story emerges: Columbus discovers mansion in NE Portland. The indigenous population of the Sabin district confiscated the Santa Maria and placed it on a mansion rooftop on Alameda St. Columbus was later discovered locked in the media room of the mansion, forced to watch Western movies on a 55″ LCD TV.
