Because what else would I do at a garden?


As I visited the Thanksgiving point gardens this week I realized that without a camera I probably wouldn't enjoy gardens much at all.  But with a camera, botanical gardens are an endless photo opportunity, a chance to capture an image and create something artistic.  Photography is my creative outlet and for me it's pretty therapeutic, a really good way to unwind and relax.  I spent 4 hours at the gardens and took 439 pictures which equals 1.8 pictures per minute.   This time I focused on "really close up shots".

SPECTACULAR!
I love all of them except the one that reminds me of all the "candles" on our mugos (it's really good tho) and the one that shows a grasshopper--already!
Yellow and orange ones are favorites, of course, especially the irises (#4 & #22). I also like the yellow, is it a sweet pea? (#34) and #9 is yellow and orange and a great bee! Purple #3 is perfect. The lanterns are fun. The koi and silver lily pads...what a shot!!! I think #37 is unique and striking (perhaps my favorite.) #41 is interesting, too. Wow, you do an amazing job. You should change your profession. Glad you enjoyed the gardens and thanks for sharing.
