Ralph Waldo Emerson said it all in this quote.
"The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it"
And LOOK is what I do, they are just to beautiful to ignore.
I shot these at 10:33 AM, direct sunlight by setting the Shutter Speed at 1/320 - F/4.5 and ISO 100
which proves we can get good photos in bright sun
I had no idea what I was doing, just kept changing it until I liked it.
and across the yard in another bucket, is the most perfect shaped pod we have ever had.
Really lovely! I can see why you enjoy the dwarf poincianas in your yard as they respond to the sunshine. Gorgeous flame colours.

ReplyDeleteGosh, they have all grown in a circle like a wreath!!! Next to the last is my favorite! You could charge money for people to come and walk around "The Mad Botanical Garden."
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots, Sandra! That is a beautiful color.
