Kubota Garden Maple Festival



Yesterday was the perfect day for the Kubota Garden Maple Festival! As you can see from my photos our long awaited Spring is beginning to blossom. If you have not visited Kubota Garden and live in Seattle, do take the time to go there. It is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip.

A Trip to California



Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Getty Villa in Malibu. The renovation completed  a couple of years ago by architects Machado and Silvetti is spectacular. As you can see in the stair details above, the attention to detail and use of materials in the new and renovated buildings are extraordinary.

Much of what was exhibited that caught my eye was jewelry from between 400 BC and 300 AD. (see image to the left).
