10 on 10: February

This month I took a solo outing to a small botanical garden in Thousand Oaks - Gardens of the World


On the drive over it looked like it was going to rain and I thought about turning back, but I didn't.

(I've probably seen too many Harry Potter movies -- he looks a bit like Voldemort)







It was a lovely day and we did finally get a little rain.

    Looks like a beautiful excursion, Kathleen, and a good thing you didn't let the rain turn you around. I especially love the shot with the leaves..how the color really pops out in them, and the first shot with all that sky!! Stunning images!!

      Thank you Kristina! The red leaves are from a poinsettia given to us at Christmas & it's flourishing outside :)

      Thanks Glenda! It's nice to go solo once in a while, no one rushing you along and you can wander as you like...

    Stunning shots! Such a good decision to keep going instead of turning back - love the mood of the clouds, sky and light in your images - the B&W creeping branches is gorgeous - looks like a painting!

    The impending weather brings a certain sense of quiet to these images, well done. I love the way you found a natural frame for the teahouse. It is so great that you took a little time for yourself to do what fills you up, way to go!
