Nature's Inspiration




These are images taken from my recent Mother's Day walk through the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, WA. Whenever I need inspiration, decompression, and quiet, I walk down my street and find it behind the gates. There are over 100+ acres of nature at her finest. One will find a Japanese tea house, zen garden, pond with weeping willows, reflection pool, wildlife sanctuary, bog garden, a ravine filled with candleabra primroses, former formal home of the owners, 60' rhododendrons, moss gardens, and so much more. Gorgeous!
