Seattle is quite a beautiful city, no doubt about that. The Belltown neighborhood doesn’t swing that way. Much of it is downright hideously ugly. If not for all that ugliness, there’d be nothing to see. I’ve lived here for 20 years and I’ve only just started taking notice. Please join me on this odyssey of unsightliness as we try to figure out why poor Belltown looks so bad.

Your Sunday Squirrel
I might finally be getting the hang of this iPhone-thing. True, the peanut and his front paws are a blur, but overall, it's OK. I took it yesterday as I was walking back from Lake Union and found myself sans camera. The only problem with taking photos with the iPhone is that no matter how good they are, they won't ever make it onto the calendar. The shape is all wrong and even after cropping, it's not sharp enough when you enlarge it. I mean, this guy is fairly in focus at this size, but totally not when you take him up a size or two. I think I'll stick with the silver box and its incompetent focus-bot for my squirrel portraiture. Every so often it takes a real nice picture.

I agree. I've had iPhones for a while and even though the cameras have improved, they get so grainy when you try to enlarge them. I end up posting most of mine on Instagram.
