Reynolda Gardens again

I took this photos a couple of weeks ago. Finally, I got to meet Oscar the frog. Michelle and Jason were there, otherwise probably I wouldn’t have gotten close enough 😛 The light was beautiful on the blue flowers and the bees kept flying around. Jason put his hand near the bumble bees and they …

Summer

I haven’t been to Reynolda Gardens much this year. I finally went to see my friend Michelle last week. I wanted to meet Oscar (the frog) but he didn’t come out to see me 🙁

Spring fever

It’s spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain    

Crabapple Tree

I saw this tree for the first time in Reynolda Gardens last year. I have an old post with the pictures I took that day http://claudiasentahbaz.com/more-flowers/ The sun was bright and it was the first time I used my Macro lens. This year I was looking forward to see these beautiful flowers again and I got lucky. …

More flowers

Once again in Reynolda Gardens, the temperature those days was already warm but comfortable. It has been a life lesson for me to discover many little things and details in everyday life that I ignored and didn’t appreciate. I am referring to nature but it makes me wonder about all the times I could have …

Spring 2012

I have taken hundreds of photos of flowers this year that it would be hard to share all of them in one post. The Winter of 2011 was crazy weather-wise. I was impatiently waiting for Spring to come so I could get out to practice shooting in natural light with Sabrina. Flowers are just there …
