Beauty is in all parts of life, not just the bloom of spring
A year or so ago, I found myself taking a week of vacation in the Seattle area. I was partly visiting friends, but also just throwing myself out there and being a tourist. A quirky, idiosyncratic tourist, but nonetheless a tourist.
On an earlier spontaneous “so, I’m a tourist, now what” trip, I had discovered botanical gardens. Some folks might think that September or so is a bad time to be visiting gardens … they’re best in the spring and summer when everything is blooming yadda yadda. I disagree.
There’s beauty to be had there any time of year, whether it’s in an enclosed tropical greenhouse, seeing nesting bald eagles, native plants that stay green later in the year, or, well, fallen leaves in the fall:

Nice job with the focus in this one.
