More BBG

Here are the other photos.  I don’t know why Digital Image Pro won’t rotate them properly, but this is the sole reason I have Paint Shop Pro on this computer.

Alex by the suspension bridge over the ravine. This bridge is…very wobbly!

A beautiful tree, of what type I do not know. My guess is some kind of cherry tree, based on the blossoms and bark.

A madrona tree. These are native to this area, yet every time we try to get one from a nursery for the back yard, they tell us madronas do not grow well in yards. ?

Lastly, a purple azalea in the rock garden. This looks great at 100% but kind of blah when I shrink it for the blog post.

Bellevue Botanical Gardens

This is where we went for the Garden d’Lights this winter, with Nana.  Of course, the Garden d’Lights is a nighttime activity, and it was also raining (this was the event that prompted my search for a weatherproof camera).  Other than the course we took on sustainable gardening, this was the first time we’ve been there during the day.  Beautiful day, not too many people around, and a perfect prelude to a lunch at the Bellevue Brewing Company!

A little house that reminded us all of a hobbit house. The door is about 3′ high. No idea what it’s used for.

A strange tree stump that made me think of some prehistoric skeleton.

Macro shot of some white flowers in the rock garden.

Even more macro!

I have more pics, but the image program (again) failed to rotate them properly.  I’ll go work on that and come back to do a second post, or edit this one.
