Photographs of Botanical Wanderings

On a beautiful day there are so many chances of things to do.  One particular afternoon, I decided to go to the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens in Brisbane - I hadn’t been there since I was a kid, and thought it was about time we became reacquainted.

Had I gone at dawn or dusk, taking photographs would have been easier.  Still, there were a few nooks that I found some interesting sites.

Here is something that took me by surprise at first (I wasn’t looking where I was going) - dragonfly art - I was having a play with depth of field, and ended up with this shot:

 There were a few of these on the bridge below - it would make for a very atmospheric photograph if it were a misty morning.

It was a fun few hours.  Not the most exciting thing to do, but it was a peaceful afternoon!
