ML and I went Pea-ing down in Seattle last week, to celebrate dry weather. We stopped at Volunteer Park, where the Seattle Asian Art Museum is located (with these wonderful HUGE --30' maybe-- art deco windows.) It was built in 1933.
The conservatory is also there, and we had to stop by and check out what was blooming and growing. I am sure you will see more of that later. This is over the front door of the conservatory. The conservatory was built in 1912, and this is the original lunette window, although the green pieces were added in 1982 and 1995.
And this is the same window, from the inside. Note to self: 100mm macro lenses do not work well for wide angle subjects in limited space areas. DOH!
And--I just couldn't resist sharing this. It's not a good shot technically, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. It was up for my Accessory entry for 26 Things. We saw this guy down in Seattle. He strode by us so purposefully and quickly that I scarcely had time to grab my camera, whip around, and get a shot. The kilt/manskirt/whatever-it-is was made of a heavy fabric, twill or denim, and had cargo-type pockets all over it. Definitely a working man's...uniform. Sure don't see that everyday! And don't you love the work boots with it? LOL!!! He also had a nice trimmed full beard...
