Bricks

The other weekend, I was strolling down an alley in Montlake with my friend, Casey and our respective kids. As I looked to my right, I spotted these bricks - part of an exposed and well-aged retaining wall. I'm not sure why I was so taken by these bricks. Partly their unique shape, partly the way the light was hitting them, and partly the newness of the little green bits foliage sprouting from something so visibly old. I quickly snapped a photo, and we continued on our way to the park. As I look at this shot, I think, man, I like these bricks.
