Portrait of peeling paint

Where most of us would have seen this as merely a patch of peeled paint on a drab concrete wall, one creative soul saw something more. Another image from my quick visit to Seattle last month.

Your mom doesn't live here

This one is from the top of the stairs at Pike Place Market in Seattle, behind the dried fruits and nuts vendor at the foot of Pike Street.

High voltage

This appears to be some very good advice. Spotted in Seattle back in February.

Chance to be kind

An awesome, uplifting message spotted back in February on a side street just off Denny Way in Seattle.
Regardless of when this photo was shot, the sentiment is timeless, of course 🙂
