Went into a neat bookstore and bakery, Ada’s, on 15th Ave. in Capitol Hill in Seattle. A very different kind of place, just right for science nerds of all kinds. I loved the Calder-esque mobile hanging up there, and the pages of text make it a “bookmobile” of a different sort.

Hope you are not tired of tulips. See the snow in the distance in this one? Here are many rows of colorful tulips in the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, a perfect illustration of the laws of perspective.

Thought you’d like to see a picture of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, in the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. I visited at this time of year a few years ago. What a great spring scene!
