: About to blossom

Red seems to be the theme for this posting. The variety in nature amazes me. The different structural elements of each plant seem endless.

Some more images from the conservatory. I enjoy the colors, textures and symmetry of the palms and cactus. The brilliance of the colors looks almost unreal.

Tuesday Blues Blues from a conservatory. The missing track from Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue?

The Point

Sharp tip on a cactus leaf. With all of the bright and colorful plants I saw I was drawn to the color of this cactus. More colorful plants to follow!

: Behind Bars

Visited the Volunteer Park Conservatory, in Seattle, today. Was a cool, grey day so shooting indoors made sense. Some of the flowers are just starting to bloom. It seemed odd to see this beautiful flower, in bloom, behind bars. I understand the public can’t be trusted, but seems a shame. I’m sure I will be posting more images from my time in the conservatory.
