Myself, my S.O., and our pup @Aila made a trip to Queen Elizabeth Park yesterday to do some flower bathing in the cherry blossoms.  

It was lovely and soothing, so here, have some pics. 🌸

Some of the more nerdy among you may recognize the Bloedel Conservatory in that magnolia photo from a couple Star Trek episodes, where it was used in matte paintings in a couple episodes for buildings in alien world backgrounds. Apparently Gene Roddenberry was very fond of it, thinking it looked very futuristic. :)

I know for sure it was used in the Voyager episode "Blink of an Eye" where they become trapped in the atmosphere of a planet where time runs much faster than on Voyager, where they witness centuries of cultural development on the surface in the few days they're trapped. I think it was also used as a building in Risa in a TNG episode…? I may be wrong about that…

Ah, the Risa episode it appears in is from DS9, the one where Jadzia goes to Risa with Worf. That's the first pic… the second pic is the "Blink of an Eye" episode from Voyager. :)
