California....someplace definitely more moderate in temperature than here in NE Oregon! I'll have to rely on potted plants for the next several months. ;-) Your images are fascinating...and beautiful.

Your macros are quite intesting, but actually the sharpness of your header photo (are they blueberry leaves?) is more satisfying. You might try not enlarging quite so much to help get that super sharpness that is so exciting. Nicely seen and beautiful blooms.

Sara, thank you for you thoughts, however I always take my shots in high resolution and for many reasons like them enlarged. So, I think I'll stick to what I've been doing.

Sree, thank you so much for your kind words, very much appreciated.

Evelyn, I'm lucky in that there are still many blooms in our botanical gardens so I know I can always get a flower shot there. Thanks so much.

Kebeni, You are sweet, thanks so much.

Maia, thanks again so much. I'm enjoying the memes.

Ann, I like the way that macro lens brings them so close.

Dina, thank you so much.

Lui, thank you again for visiting and commenting.

BJ, Glad you like it and thanks so much.

Beautiful macros are always, those are some really gorgeous flowers. We have had fog most of the day so your bright shots are a pleasure to view.

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. If it has to permanently close I WILL NOT be a happy camper. The gardens have always been free unlike all the other venues in that area to include the DeYoung Museum, The Academy of Sciences of which you almost have to be a millionaire to afford their entrance fees, The Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers. My position is that the Botanical Gardens should begin implementing fees. Why not? Everyone else charges fees to maintain their venues. If you buy a membership to the gardens which is as low as $60.00 per year, round...
