Chihuly Garden of Glass | Seattle

In the shadow of the Seattle Space Needle is the Chihuly Garden of Glass.  This glass museum showcases the work of Dale Chihuly, a Washington State born glass sculptor.  His work has been exhibited all over the world.
The museum opened in 2012 and consists of 3 parts, the garden, the glass house, and the interior exhibits.  My favorite is the shot above, with the Seattle Space Needle looming over the glass house.  Amazing exhibition.

Ramps at Pike Place Market, Seattle

Iphone, Instagram


Last weekend, while strolling through the Pike Place Market, I came across some Ramps.  Ramps are a member of the garlic and onion family, a king of wild leek.  They are only available in the spring, and not for long.  So we packed some up and they were delicious!  Try them roasted, in pastas, in anything.  I even made rolls of butter to have long after the season has ended.  Try them, if you can find them.

Pike Place Market, Seattle

There is nothing quite like the Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington.  The market opened for business in 1907.  The flowers, the seafood, and the produce are all a feast for the eyes.  I never miss stopping in whenever I am in town which is more often, now, that my niece is living there and attending the University of Washington.  You can read more about the market here.
