This took a LOT of work...

I have no earthly idea why this sculpture was in an empty lot in Fremont, except that Fremont is the center of the universe and thus attracts random foreign objects...

Hard bodies

I played around with the "spotlight" feature of my digital camera.  I took this picture at a garden shop.  Even the rough piece of twine (holding the price tag) looks kind of cool, doesn't it?

A very unusual sculpture in a small courtyard:

Crazy cool garden art

Translucent leaves

I loved the way the light was shining not just around, but THROUGH the leaves:

Artsy Flowers

Black and white and white and black

I cannot even BEGIN to imagine...

who owns (and apparently lives in) this vehcle:

Special Agent Zero would be licensed to ??????

Urban mysteries...

Who nailed this cigarette package to a utility pole?

Funky Feet (real and imagined)

Fighting ninjas and abstract leaves

I took a TON of photos a few weeks ago in Seattle's funky Georgetown neighborhood.  Love these windows in an old industrial building that looked like it had been turned into artist lofts. 

It reminded me of that old Sesame Street song, "One of these things is not like the others, one of these things doesn't belong..."  I can't imagine what twirling ninjas have to do with abstract leaves, but there you have it...

Don't you love the way I artfully insert my shadow into the picture?

And the way I masterfully captured the glare of the sun?

Found Peace

I found this little treasure while walking in a nearby park.  Someone had apparently noticed that the deep gouges in this tree stump resembled a peace sign.  I would love to let the "artist" know that his or her work was found and appreciated.
