Seattle Japanese Garden

Ahhhh yes, this duck must be an old timer around here. He doesn't care who's watching...."tourists?....feast your eyes on this!"

The Seattle Japanese Garden is one of the attractions of the Arboretum. With the benefit of proximity and good weather, I decided to go pay a visit. The garden is a really small area compared to the one in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and just a little bigger (or less cramped) than the one in Hayward. But, nonetheless....its a nice place (I just wish I didn't have to pay five bucks to get in).

There is a well built Japanese house near the lake. However, it's closed to visitors. My guess is that it is used for the Tea cermonies and other events (so I will report on it the next time I get to attend something).

Stopover at Montlake

In the next couple of months, Montlake will be my home. This signals somewhat of a beginning for me trying to adapt to Seattle life.

Bare essentials (from left to right):
DVD player(look below), TV/VCR combo unit, storage boxes, Ikea Lycksele Form chair-bed (yes! it's a bed too!), Continental road tires (have to swap out my tires as most of the trails here are paved).

The studio is in great shape and I love all the scaled-down structures. I have most of my stuff in storage so I have the luxury of pulling out what I can use in the meantime.
