Bloedel Reserve

Visiting Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island was magical.

It was overcast (and rainy), but that just made the weather right for a visit-- it's their normal weather.

The second-growth temperate rainforest was wonderful (I wished my gardening companion was with me to experience it), since we knew western plants from 'school' -- many years ago.

The haymeadows surrounded by evergreens were what called me, though.

A wonderful landscape.
