selby gardens

I went to Selby Gardens in Sarasota yesterday after taking Nia on Siesta Key. I was a little tired, but going to the gardens was such a lift and so stimulating to me creatively, I am really glad I went. I am slowly figuring out I use photography and especially taking photographs of the natural world to inspire me . . .

Gorgeous pix, Lenna. I was at the gardens a few weeks ago. Now I have a picture of the koi pond as my wallpaper!

Gorgeous! I've wanted to visit the gardens for a long time. I can see it needs to remain on the list.

That's such a beautiful place, Lenna, no wonder it's inspirational. And the pictures do the same for me!

Each photo is gorgeous in its own right -- but Lenna, the first group of trees...my oh my. Wonderful, beyond description.

Lovely pix my friend - the colours are wonderful - and it looks so WARM! Just the pick me up you needed! J

I love that first group of trees too Sheila, even though most people love the tall, tall Banyan Trees with the tiny people underneath! I was taking photos in the area and a woman saw me doing so and said something about how I should come over and take a photo of the tree grouping you like. It is right behind the koi pond and so stunning, yet so calming.
Thanks to all for your comments, I am really glad you enjoyed the photos.
