Bloedel Conservatory is part of Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, British Columbia. It features tropical plants and a collection of birds that have the conservatory as their home. When we were there it also featured a collection of sculptures by local artists in various media.
We had been eager to get out and the day we went was a holiday here in Washington, but it was raining again, and so we made the decision to go to Bloedel, a place we had not visited before. We spent a relaxing and enjoyable day there before fighting our way back through Vancouver traffic.
It should be noted that the pictures are in no particular order and that many of the pictures were taken by my wife. I was trying out some high ISO settings due to the poor light and did not get very good pictures as a result. It is not unusual, however, that she outdoes me.
