We're In The Garden

2008.03.20










I spent the morning at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden the weekend before last with my 70-300VR lens. It was starting to bloom and I wasn't the only one enjoying the morning sunshine. :)

An equinox haiku...

An emerald patch
drizzled with prizmatic wreaths;
Cameras rejoice!

I've been in a haiku mood lately.

Yeah for spring!

Peche Gorgeous, intricate set Lisa, yet somehow so simple. The observant nature of these photos really strikes me - the squirrel is such a great capture... he looks like a lord surveying his land :)
That lens is spectacular... I wonder if it might work on my D40? ;)
And I adore the haiku... so clever!

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

- J.R.R. Tolkien

kangshung A wonderful spring feeling in these Lisa - love the colours of #2, the squirrel is great, the bird in #7 is very alert and as sharp as a tack, and #8 is delicious and my fav. of this group.
