Poetic Shutterbug

All photos taken @ The San Francisco Botanical Gardens I am thrilled to announce that the San Francisco Botanical Gardens proposal to charge a $7.00 fee was ok'd by the panel at City Hall on Thursday. It was a passionate, loud and heated debate but in the end it was given the green light. Now it has to go through Mayor Newsom who is in favor of the proposal then to the Board of Supervisors for final approval. I will keep you updated. You can read the entire article by visiting SF GATE. Thanks to all of you for your support on this issue, it means so much and I appreciate each and every one of you.

Before - I took this at the Botanical Gardens and although it came out fine, I loved the colors and wanted to do something different. The result is below. After ~ I deepened the color, added a swirl, pinch and tightened the highlighted center. Enjoy!
