As promised, I took Gavin and Lael to Fort Nisqually yesterday. I’ve been there before, but I was still quite impressed by their garden, particularly that the garden which is supposedly “authentic” contained these beautiful flowers:
It felt eerie to look up from the flowers to see the cannon standing guard over them from the watchtower:
Is it reassuring or troubling that these outposts of civilization brought flowers thousands of miles for their garden? How could someone who loved such beauty so viciously exploit the local Indians?
Gorgeous photos!
I love the picture of the bee in the flower.
Thanks for sharing.
