This is a photo of one of the many pine trees at Kubota Garden in Seattle, Washington. It was taken on July 7, 2007. Kubota Garden is a public garden that is now owned by the City of Seattle and maintained by the Department of Parks & Recreation. It was originally created and maintained for many years by Fujitaro Kubota.

This is part of the Tom Kubota Stroll Garden. According to their brochure, it "features long views, many places to sit, and stone from the high Cascades. It was designed and built in 1999 by Tom Kubota, son of Fujitaro, and a generous benefactor of the garden. The west entrance displays an extraordinary 32-foot-long Weeping Blue Atlas cedar, several Weeping Norway Spruce, a Camperdown Elm and a grove of Cornus mas."
