Photography: Evening Stroll in the Gardens (Post #1)

Beautiful flowers!

I have found out the hard way that my camera does not like taking evening photos. Or perhaps it is just the photographer. It is hard sometimes taking the time for photography if everyone else is not caught up in the act. Otherwise, someone gets left behind and others walk alone. So yeah, I did try to hurry this time as we were all trying to enjoy a bit of a stroll at the gardens.

I mean, I could have just left the camera home, and I did try but one of the kiddos brought it so they could take pictures. The problem is, I would be kicking myself if a photographic moment presented itself and I could not capture it. So, while many of my photos turned out too dark and grainy – a few turn out just perfectly (to my delight). There is definitely something to be said…

wonderful photos!

It has been a while since we have visited the gardens. Some days, it just gets too hot and if the images don’t have too much glare, they are blurry because I was rushing to get out of the blazing sun. See, in Colorado (at least where I live) we don’t have huge trees everywhere, creating glorious shade. Instead, we have all open sky. It reaches from one end of the horizon to the other. Sometimes, it may remain to be see through a flurry of houses here or there but we definitely are open to the elements.

Even when going hiking – a full sky rises overhead. If you are lucky, some trails have tree cover, but many do not. So I am a bit of a wimp and I decide to go hiking when it is cooler (yay for fall time!) or when the weather is a bit…

Beautiful, thanks for sharing.

More photos from our wonderful excursion to the local park. My goodness, to think this is all free and just a drive away! We have not been back yet, we have been much too busy. For some of you who have noticed I have not been around much, I apologize. I have not had as much time to spend reading.

This week we are laying hardwood floors in our master bedroom. We have already done all the other floors in the house and this is the last room left. It is a lot of work, but we are almost finished and the floors look extremely lovely so I can’t complain. Can’t wait to actually get out and about again though!

Either way, enjoy the view and know I will be keeping my eye out for the next photographic moment to share 🙂

Another post from the gardens sometime ago. We only had an hour or two to spare, but you know me… I had to take my camera. I just look through these and am amazed at the beautiful colors on display at the gardens. I mean, I am awed in the moment, standing there and seeing them in real life. I am also awed much later, looking back at the photos I have taken. It is just what I need to put a smile on my face… and I do hope it puts one on your face as well 🙂 Here’s wishing you sunshine and cool breezes, wherever you may be.
