Save The San Francisco Botanical Gardens
All of these photos were taken by me on Monday during my visit to the Botanical Gardens. I planned on this just being a Wordless Wednesday post with photos until I visited the Gardens website and found that due to budget cuts etc... the gardens will fall to demise unless they begin charging an entrance fee. There have been mumblings and rumors about this over the past year with a lively debate. Now you all know that I am there on a regular basis.

betchai, thanks, I tried to capture the serenity there.
Annie, yes it is in San Francisco very near me. I live in the Sunset. It's out by the Parkmerced apartments.
Sonya, I've seen boaters there but I would not swim there. There is high algae production and it is very murky,
God Bless you!!!
It's great to have a lento pace here to enjoy the scene. You must have fun touring the whole lake by looking at these different angles of the photos.
Well done and keep it up!

yoon see, thank you so much for dropping in and offering your kind words. Very much appreciated.
Evelyn, it was a gorgeous day.
Shark, that is straight out of the camera. I never alter my shots other than cropping. I hate photoshopped shots that display fake colors and lighting. I like reality in my shots. This lake is not the most colorful but very peaceful and real. Thanks, my friend, for stopping by.
Thanks for sharing!
