03.27.10Today I went with my husband, Dale and grandson, Zach on an outing with the Olympia Camera Club to the Kubota Gardens in Seattle, Wa. Eleven of us carpooled from Lacey and spent the whole morning exploring the 23 acre Japanese garden that is situated right in the city near Martin Luther King Way. It was a little early in the season, so not everything was blooming yet, but there were plenty of plants that had bloomed and of course, lots of evergreens. We had a great time and got some great shots.
The sky was a bit overcast, but there was also plenty of sunshine and it was quite warm. Since our last outing with the club was in pouring rain, we were grateful for the nice weather. After a picnic lunch we headed to the SeaTac Botanical Garden. Again, it was a little early for most plants, but there were enough flowers in bloom to keep us shooting another hour or so.
Here is a sampling of the look and feel of the Kubota Garden. In my next post I will post some of the close-up flower shots I got at both gardens.
