ode to Magnuson Park

I just went for a walk along Lake Washington in beautiful Magnuson Park here in Seattle. It is a park I like to visit every season as it has retained its original vegetation and coloration of the Pacific Northwest landscape. It always amazes me that not only the colors of a landscape change with the seasons, but also its entire atmosphere. On a hot summer day you will not find parking space in the entire park as thousands of visitors flock to the lakeside and dip into the water to cool off. Now - just a few months after - on a crisp, cool winter day, you will only find a handful of human visitors strolling along the paths, while the entire landscape explodes with the sounds of migrating birds.

These six cards are layered prints.  I used recycled cardboard and Styrofoam, cut out shapes of stars and printed them onto the cards. You have to wait for a layer to dry before applying the next series of stamps.
