Going gardening

A few more scenes from the Descanso gardens seem to be in order.

Sometimes I'm a fan of overexposure. I like what it did for this plant.


...And for this one. I'd like to go back and have several more goes at this one.


I just want to dive into this one and tread its pillowy water. I want rub my legs all over it the way the nieces do with their silkies (blankies). Click to embiggen it for the full effect.


Bark pattern of coastal oak. Its bark is better than its bite.


This one's got tracks, and I ain't talking heroin.

I really like the second flower- with the over exposed rock behind it.
What say we meet here when I'm in town?

mmm, me, too, on the flower/rock combo. i think i would've like a little more detail in the rock, but not too much more.

i think your idea is fabulous! yes, let's plan it! that would be tons of fun, and i could take pix of the kids and you there, too! let's talk by email about open dates. i'll get a chance to reshoot that flower after all! :-)

oooooh, the second floor is stunning with the over exposure and the other shots are so good too, love that peachy pink flower, it looks like a wonderful day to go to the garden.
