Week 373

  ANOTHER VISIT TO THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS

Returning to a  place one  has often  photographed  before  and  which  is  known  to  offer many
excellent  images  is  always  both  challenging  and  a  pleasure,  because one knows what joys
the  place  holds,  but  at the  same time there's the challenge of finding new subjects, or at least
new  ways of  looking at previously  captured views.     I  was  fortunate  to  get a sunny day after a
week of heavily overcast skies and showers. And, yes, my obsession with water rages unabated!


 

 

 

1. A quiet corner of the ornamental lake.

 

 

2. Water in motion always appeals to me!

 

 

3. There are many vistas like this to surprise the visitor around every corner.

 

 

4. In the rainforest section a tree fern frond peeps out from behind a palm trunk.

 

 

5. Hard to imagine one is in a bustling city, isn't it?

 

 

6. "Hey, do you have to splash so much?"

 

 

7. A different take on the bench I seem to photograph on every visit.

 

 

8. The essence of tranquility.

 

 

9.  Yes, I do like reflections!

 

 

 10. "Making my own ripples...".

Guest Photo of The Week


This week's Guest Photo introduces a photographer I have just recently discovered - David Johns lives in Anchorage, Alaska and his blog
is well worth visiting regularly. This view of the Fur Rondy fireworks is typical of his excellent work.

Some e-mail responses ...

 Number eight was perfect, absolutely nightmarish, werewolfish and vampirish, hehehe. I loved it! There's a poem that mentions "when I look at trees, I think of the skeletal forms and the volume of them." and I think this picture is perfect to illustrate it, or the poem to illustrate the picture, however,they complement each other. The parasols were beautiful too, as they seem to be falling through the rabbit's hole along with Alice, slowly and swaingly (is this well written?). The other plane bare tree was also nice, I guess I love naked trees because they invite me to protect and dress them, to prevent them from cold. The wet street was good, too. Ray, you always find things to show. The window, a bit intrusive I must say, one can see the lamps inside. But I DO love windows. Anyway, you beat the challenge once again.
