Captured: Kubota Garden

Captured
Written By Nathan Box

Last year, my nephew graduated from high school. Since I couldn’t be there for his big celebration, I bought him a plane ticket and invited him to accompany my mom on a trip to the Pacific Northwest. Over the course of a long weekend, we headed to Vancouver, B.C. and explored Seattle. One of our stops was Kubota Garden in South Seattle. One of my mom’s great loves in this world is plants and flowers. Of course, my camera had to tag along. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the afternoon.

Be good to each other,

Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
