Manito Park

The first week we were in Spokane (a few weeks ago) we went to Manito Park to play with the ducks and see the beautiful gardens. I was sad because nothing was blooming yet, however we did find the greenhouse and had a lot of fun in there! We got some interesting pictures because the camera fogged up, but it kind of gave them an artistic feel. In fact this is where I first started wanting to become a photographer. I realized how much I loved taking random pictures of flowers, while David was wondering if I would ever turn off the camera and just enjoy the scenary! The other problem with being a photographer is i also love the spotlight and always want to be in the pictures... so I don't know how we will work that out! Anyway, if you are ever in Spokane it is a beautiful place and worth a little trip!
Foggy camera lens creating an interesting and somewhat artistic effect.


Still a little foggy, but wearing off. I am proud of these two artistic baby hand shots.


I can't decide which one I like better. This one is so vibrant, but the other is so majestic!


These were my favorite flower. They are called lollipop flowers (And that is exactly what Lucy wanted to do with them !)


These are just the most gorgeous flowers ever.

This is just a cute shot of Lucy and Dave to show off how incredible the greenhouse was.


I guess I have never really been in a greenhouse before, but it sure seemed incredibly beautiful and majestic to me. I felt like I was living in Fern Gully or Fablehaven or something...and fairies would pop out any moment!


My other favorite flower...the Kaphir Lily.


...and i couldn't leave out the awesome duck pond...except, Lucy hated it! When I took her close to the ducks and scared them all, she just started crying. I was very shocked by her response. I think it was too close to nap time, because a week later I showed her more ducks and she was very interested and didn't cry. I was very glad for this reassurance because one of my favorite things to do is scare birds and I didn't know what I was going to do if my child would never want to do it with me!

Thanks for Visiting!
