New entry at the Volunteer Park Conservatory

In a sunbreak a couple of days ago, I took advantage of the great spring weather to head out to one of my favorite haunts, the Volunteer Park Conservatory, one of Seattle’s true hidden gems. They have redone the entry and it is so fabulous! Now a curved space greets you and you feel surrounded by the tropical foliage and flowers. And the shadows of the Peacock Window are a bonus.

   The shadows remind me of a sundial (an instrument which I find difficult to read!).

   WONDERING WHY

   Said Shadow, “I do wonder why,
   When there is no sun in the sky,
   I must disappear;
   I’d like to stay here
   And never again say good-bye!”

   The iron gate leaves a wonderful shadow at the feet of the leafy flora. The portal has opened, it would seem, to invite us i and view the look of Spring. This tropical ‘jungle, is tamed and so lovely here!

   That looks nice and green. Still white with snow around here after a teasing of warmth and sunshine a week ago. Makes me think a trip tomour local conservatory might be a good idea until Spring really kicks in here in Wisconsin. Great shot!

   peace.

   The mix of such lovely shadowy patterns and gorgeous lush greenery is super! Funny to hear the term ‘sunbreak’ 🙂 I hope you have many more sunbreaks in the week ahead!

    you are so right – the shadow is intriguing. I love this photo with all the greenery and those shadows. it’s like a secret garden, which makes it even more enticing considering the time of year. we are in a hurry for spring to arrive and a conservatory is a “next best thing” to it. enjoy your sun break! happy SSS and I hope you’re having a super weekend Sara.

    Flowers are beautiful, but I love lush greenery like this. Nice shadows, too!
