Pioneer Square flower shop

... I've been having lots of fun experimenting with my new digital camera lately, but haven't really taken anything worth keeping until recently... I captured this impromptu snapshot today while waiting for the waterfront streetcar to take me to classes... all the buildings in this part of Seattle are dated from 1895 to 1910, with lots of faded brick, blackened cedar and hand-hewn stone corbels... you can literally close your eyes and hear the ghosts of horsedrawn wagons and gold prospectors stocking up for their trip to the Klondike...

... that is, until some tourist bus honks at you to "get outta the damned street, you moron..."
