On Saturday I met some friends at the Conservatory in Seattle's Volunteer Park.  It was a cool, dreary, gray winter day, with rain spitting down on and off, which made the warmth of the greenhouse all the more pleasant.

It had been a few years since I'd last visited, and I'd forgotten how serene the conservatory is on a day like that.  If you live nearby, or have something similar in your area, it's a good break if winter gloom is getting you down.

I didn't get a shot outside, so I've included one I took in a different winter a few years ago, when it was snowing.
