Sunday, back home in Seattle, we decided to use the beautiful afternoon to visit a beautiful place, Kubota Garden, a treasure in South Seattle. Riding in the car on the way to the garden, I realized I wasn't seeing the beauty around me. Autumn is in full glory here and I was missing it. I had to make a conscious effort to switch from inward vision to using my outward eyes.
As you will see from these photos, that wasn't hard to do. We spent almost two hours in the beauty of this garden.
Thank you for taking the time to share your outward eyes with us. You have an artist's eye. That can't really be taught. Every photo is a work of art. Thanks for sharing this beauty with all of us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a spectacular place to take in the wondrous sights of nature...a true feast for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteOH! Oh! Oh! I am falling down in a swoon from the beauty of these pictures. I agree that your outward eye is definitely an artist's eye. Thank you for sharing these, and I am in awe...
ReplyDeleteNice pics, but they make me melancholy for some reason.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, rich colors of autumn. I enjoyed them so much and definitely used my outward eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden, Linda. I need to tell my granddaughter of it so she can visit, she is new to the area!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to quiet the mind and bring peace. It is especially beautiful clothed in autumns colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is so glorious, Linda. I took photos at the Chicago Botanic Garden but just haven't gotten my act together to choose some for a a post. You've motivated me to think about it. Sighhh
ReplyDeleteKubota Gardens looks like a really amazing place. I wish we could have gone there when we were in your area.
I'm sending you another hug, Linda.
I lost my wonderful mother 8 years ago and I miss her every day. Your mother's legacy is witnessed by the beautiful family she has left behind. I have loved seeing the caring and cohesiveness of your entire family. My husband comes from a very dysfunctional family and it is so painful for him. Linda, you are blessed having those grand children close by and living in a place that looks like paradise.
ReplyDeletejust beautiful, nature can certainly bring you to the here and now...thanks for the gorgeous photos
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, beautiful place. And how strong you are to be able to bring yourself to enjoy the beauty of the present.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos Linda. I remember visiting here the last time we were in Seattle and wondering what it would be like in the Fall. Now thanks to you I know, it's breathtaking.
