VanDusen Botanical Garden

Here are some more pictures from the VanDusen Botanical Garden.

emmett_the_sane discovered a bit of the park that featured fields of rambling wildflowers:






Isn't swiss chard beautiful?



A lovely fresh white flower. I like how the texture of the petals is visible in this photo.



I like the silhouettes of those long dangling seed pods, with the clouds behind them.



Those green and red leaves are so striking...



In the park was a small green pagoda, and this is one corner of it. I like the painting detail.



This bit of pink loveliness is actually from a single flower cluster... the bush had several of these flower-puffs on it.



That one is not from the VanDusen Gardens... it's from a little park in Whistler. I like those little fluff-seeds, ready to be borne along by winds.



And I like the lichen-green color and the geometry of this plant.

Still more to come...

Wonderful! The chard is my favorite of this bunch.

I love how *alive* it looks!

I'm not sure I could chose a favorite if I tried. These are great! What a wonderful time you must have had!

Thank you! It's a beautiful park... and we only even got to see half of it! It's enormous.

Love the pagoda!

Me too... I love it when builders aren't afraid to use *color*.

Oh my God, I want a camera EXACTLY like yours.
These are totally awesome! What kind of camera do you have and how much did it cost?

[cyan-blue.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Don't know the cost, since it was a gift, but the camera is an Olympus digital camera, D-460 ZOOM. Part of what helps me to take good photos with it is that I can view how my photo will look through the digital screen both before and after I snap it. So I can aim the shot better, and I can also know if I need to take another one, if the first was blurry. I want to get an even stronger zoom lens one day though, when I have more $.

Awesome 3-)

This is inspiring me to make photo posts of my own. Now to get my webserver up and running....

[cyan-blue.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll look forward to seeing your photos, too.

I think you need to check apel's userinfo for photography communities that focus on color. :)

Oh my yes, you are right.

color_theory... mmmm...

Thanks!
