Sometimes I wonder and worry about pushing so hard to protect and preserve our parks in Seattle, and then there are times, like today, after seeing this Phantom Orchid in Lincoln Park, where I am absolutely certain we are on the right path, and that our only choice is to push even harder.

Thank you for the gorgeous photo, Mark. I’d never even heard of a phantom orchid, but the name is certainly apt! We have to keep fighting the good fight.
