Garden Inspiration and Design

A couple of weeks ago you might remember I attended

 the Northwest Flower and Garden Show.

Wow, what a fun day that was with my friends Priscilla and Stephanie.

I couldn't believe how much there was to see, do, and buy!  



So, today I thought you might like to see a few of the 

gardens that were on display this year.



The lighting was beautiful here in this contemporary garden design.




Loved this unusual gate...see the little cricket at the bottom?



I learned a little more about my camera settings too this day. 

I'm not used to shooting in artificial light and most of the displays 

were shown off with bright spot lights!




Then, the next display would be darker, so I had to adjust my 

settings each time.  

Look at this! 

Isn't this fun?  

I mean, who has a disco ball in their garden? 



Unfortunately, this one below wasn't my best photo, but I just 

had to show you my favorite garden display.

No, that's not a real body back there! Lol

 I love the vodka bottle, Camel cigarettes, and 

broken martini glass in the background too.

I loved how the artist/designer showed a real sense of humor with their display.





Love the vintage metal chairs.




From fancy...



to Hobbit...



Lots of fun ideas.

These bottles reminded me of the windows at the

Shakey's Pizza Place when I was a kid.

Do you remember Shakey's Pizza? 





Ah...this was more like me...

Adirondack chair, daffodils, dragon flies and a tea pot! 




The Convention Center in Seattle is very nice.

I love this area where you can see all the way down the 

street to the water and Pike's Place Market.




Beautiful area to sit and rest, grab a bite to eat and start 

walking around again! 




I hope you enjoyed my little tour of my day at the 

Northwest Garden and Flower Show.

If you are ever in the area during the show, it's something 

you don't want to miss! 


Hope your week is going well.

Fun photos, Becca! Can you believe we've never been to that show? I especially like the photo taken to the west, from the bridge across the street, right?

Looks like a great show. So many beautiful displays. I so glad you were able capture some shots and share them with us. The one with the Adirondack chair definitely looks like you. In fact I almost thought it might be your yard at first glace.

Hope you week is going well my friend.

Hugs~

We were there too. Isn't just amazing?! I gave up trying to take pictures with my camera there, the lighting is really tricky. Your pictures turned out great.
