Poetic Shutterbug

Since I spend so much time photographing in the gardens, I wanted to bring you something a little different. While I love flowers, there are so many more fascinating things to see. Here are some unusual ones. Tree branches, tree trunks and even a macro of a stone wall which is part of a new pathway.

All of these were taken at the gardens with either the macro or super macro settings. I am not a flower expert and did not take notes so these are all from memory. If I have named a flower incorrectly then please let me know. I will also be posting flowers with no names. I have and am learning much from all of you so please don't hesitate to educate me when it comes to my flower photos. I may not know all their names but I do love all of them. Enjoy!

All photos taken by me @ the SF Botanical Gardens As you walk into the main entrance of the gardens right behind the small bookshop there are plants and bushes lined up against the fence by the pathway into the gardens. If you are not observant, you will miss the narrow stone pathway behind the plants and bushes that is nestled between the main plants, bushes and fence. All of these photos were taken in that little alcove. Now you would think with all the time I spend there that if I didn't already know the names of these plants, that I would take notes and jot them down. Everything is clearly marked and posted throughout the entire gardens. However, I am always so excited to be there and taking photos that I always forget to take names. So, while I do not know to what species these belong, I'm sure many of you do. I just loved them for their unique and exotic look. Remember to click the photos to enlarge. Enjoy!
