Tropical Butterfly House at the Pacific Science Center

Although it may be cold outside, the Pacific Science Center’s Tropical Butterfly House enjoys sunshine, 80-degree weather, and 70 percent humidity, 365 days a year.  Keep your eye on the beautiful plants and flowers, and you’d swear you were in the tropics.

Model Railroad Show at the Pacific Science Center, January 13-15th

Model Train aficionados can head to the Seattle Center this weekend for the Model Railroad Show at the Pacific Science Center.
 
I remember my dad and brother staging, and re-staging, a model train in our basement.  There were tracks, and trains, and bridges, and buildings, and switches, and all sorts of convoluted layouts.  It must have […]

Fireworks at the Space Needle, a Project 365 Photo

A few months ago, I read about Project 365 and became intrigued.
The concept is simple – take a photo a day.  The idea was started by Taylor McKnight who claims that it serves as not only a way to remember the year, but to help him understand what’s really important to him in life.
