A scene from your neighborhood

The Seattle I grew up in (I remember taking a Scout trip to visit the construction of the Space Needle)

And what it looks like now (the Space Needle is hidden in the middle right of the picture. I like the old view better.

I'm not a city person.. I don't like to be around a lot people and the fast life. And I'd rather have the earth below my feet.

Just to sit on top of the mountain on an early October morn, drink coffee, and watch the mist rise from the valley is very entertaining to me... I guess most wouldn't enjoy that.. but I'm not "most people"!:D

Trout fishing on a cold mountain stream is a great thing in my life.. in my neighborhood I have many...

its so nice to see pictures of days gone bye, such good memories. When I was in the military there were many PCS moves in which involved moving and storing our household good for several years while stationed overseas. I had hundreds of pictures that were lost during moves and while in storage. Memories of the homes we lived in, the kids growing up places that we will never see again. 20 years of military photos from everywhere from heaven to he@@..

Here's one out the front door. The snow is almost gone, except where the sun doesn't shine. There's a hawk in one of those trees that eats a tasty sparrow every once in a while. I walked out in the front yard a few weeks ago, and it was raining feathers. He was in our maple tree having a snack. We're about 1/4 mile from the Arkansas River, and there are about 2 1/2 square miles of "park" (think nature preserve) on Turkey Mountain on the other side of the river, so we see a little wildlife from time to time.
 
Small world.

My neighborhood...for now

This photograph brings a smile to my face. I know this intersection well. It is still a nice safe neighborhood (compared to where I live now).


There is a bus loop where the huge tree is, just behind the old bank building (now an American Legion Post) on the right.

And Reiker's market on the left was and perhaps still is an old fashion market. We (my ex-wife and in laws) had our weekly order delivered from there every Saturday. I lived just up the Pike in Rockledge. I can just make out on the right the steeple of the church where we were married in 1978.

Good memories of a happier time.

Thanks for posting the picture.
