Garden shadows.

In the Boston Public Garden today, the brilliant sun made lusciously dark shadows:

Velobiff, Athenius: Here's the whole set. I tend to wait for people to get out the way when trying to get nature shots, unless they are photogenic, and I don't like shooting strangers close up (except in some rare cases, like the previous post). I've got a couple shots with the swan boats, but didn't especially like them as a photograpic subject. They make a good impression in person, but actually look rather blocky and cluttered (with people) in the photos.

Ann: You're right about pictures with the swan boats. They are fun to watch in person, but not to look at it photos.

Breathtaking. There is no substitute for the artist's eye. :)

I'd move back in a minute if I had the opportunity.

I'm surprised you didn't get into any of the private Beacon Hill gardens. Surely you know someone?
Beacon Hill does gardens like nobody.

---The red brick---love that! They don't have earthquakes there.

I was thinking the deep red at night probably looks translucent....then again a single gal out walking at night.....digital camera in hand, ....not a good idea.

That last picture of the drooping fir tree.....or is that Eucalyptis? (spelling horror).
I love the way the trees' branches overhang.

Where I live they chop down, and excessively prune till there's nothing left. Job creation. Jobs before shade. Sigh.

Peace, Maxine
