The Northwest Flower and Garden Show



The glassed in atrium at The Convention Center

I headed down to The Convention Center to check out the Garden Show. It was packed to the rafters. I was most interested in the booth of miniture gardens put together by Janit Calvo of Two Green Thumbs. She is local so these plants are easily available.





I went to the Bike Swap first, so riding to The Convention Center meant taking Eastlake. I don't know what was going on today but Eastlake was backed up all day, both going to and coming back from the show. Here is a small clip of what it was like to cycle that mess...

Olympia, Washington's Capital

The Capital Building in Olympia. Early February on a foggy night around 9 pm.

Update: In September, 2009 I moved from Seattle to Olympia and started attending classes at tHe Evergreen State College.

The Evergreen State College!


In the dead of winter, standing in Red Square and turning counter clockwise this is the campus.
The first thing you notice when you step on campus is the air. It is forest fresh. Every breath is like a meal.
