Nature's beauty

By simply stepping into the garden, I can feel the beauty of nature in every flower petal and every leaf blade. I only wish my camera is able to capture some of this beauty and preserve them for more than a season.

New spring flowers~

The tulips are on their way out but in their place, new shades and colours are capturing our attention.

The weather hasn't been great for us over the last couple of photo shoots and most of the images turned out less than satisfactory, still I'm glad we managed to capture some of the new blooms from the garden.

Explosion of Colours @ Botanic Garden

How a few days of warm weather and sunshine can change the bare stalks and flowerbeds!

Everywhere we went there were new tulips (among other flowers) on display. The boldness of the reds and oranges, the intricacies of the shaded purples and pinks, the endless whites and yellows, in various poses and styles, compete for the attention of our cameras...I wish we could spend more than just one lunch hour during each visit.

First attempt at adding 10 pictures at the same time, I wonder if the server can handle this :P

Garden in the last week of July

Some more from today

Is spring coming?

A burst of new flowers at the Royal Botanic Gardens seem to indicate that the footsteps of spring is close. The early blooms are few today but they looked so fresh and gorgeously decorated by raindrops.

I was worried that they may not turn out well since the day was cloudy but most of them turned out quite nice. Happy photo day overall~ ^o^

And some more flowers from the same day..

These are also my favourite shots from the last trip.

Nameless blue flower with lots of tiny hair, almost looks like a sea creature if not for the green background

An Iris showered by daylight, flares of petals remind me of swan wings

Another flower that I don't know the name of...layers of red, orange and pink leaves covering the delicate petals

Begonia, I always get drawn to these when the light hits them, the light gives them a shimmer and they look good enough to eat (not that I tried).
