During our recent visit to Seattle, our host impulsively changed one of our destinations from a classic car museum to the Pacific Bonsai Museum<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which turned out to be fortuitous because the Pacific Bonsai Museum appears to be in danger of closing, or at least moving – I am having trouble finding information online. I thought we got this information from the information staff.<\/p>\n

This is an outdoor museum, hosted on the grounds of a former Weyerhauser<\/strong><\/em> campus, and was a very peaceful visit for us, as we were virtually the only guests (a weekday afternoon). I know nothing about bonsai, so I took a lot of pictures, as did our host, and my Arts Editor picked out the best of mine. We were somewhat hampered by suboptimal lighting conditions – it was too bright, the shadows too abrupt.<\/p>\n

This first set are classic pictures – the subject centered and presented, almost informationally.<\/p>\n

Perhaps to portray a bit of a wind?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lovely fall foliage.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A lovely image of life and death.<\/p><\/div>\n

Some of the bonsai had painted backgrounds. My Arts Editor didn’t seem to approve.<\/p>\n

I find I prefer more dramatic shots, and here’s what I managed to get by my Editor in that category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Some OK use of shading.<\/p><\/div>\n

Then there’s this, just sitting there under the tree. I have no idea as to its nature.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We did run across another visitor, and I’m amazed at how well this shot came out.<\/p>\n

All in all, a relaxing and fun time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
