remembering greener times *PIC HEAVY

[Tindomul]

I finally got around to editing some of my pictures from last spring/summer and a few from years past.
All pictures were taken at botanical gardens or in city parks or in the streets. I don't have a yard to grow any of these plants.

First up, Lilies!!!

[Tindomul]

Thanks Ron!!

[WhiteRabbit]

Fabulous! It's cool, drab and chilly here today, so was especially nice to see all these beautiful flowers!

[Tindomul]

Thanks Sonya!

[NYCorchidman]

What an amazing bunch of gorgeous flowers!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm a big fan of oriental lilies, swallow tail butterflies, and bulb plants in general.
Rhododendron and azalea are also nice. used to be all over the place in the spring time back home.

May I ask what kind of camera you use? The pictures are so prestine!!!

[Tindomul]

I was using a Nikon D40 with the 18-55 mm lens. I was using too high and ISO giving the pics a grainy image though. With lower ISO's the pictures come out smoother looking.
Thanks for the comments, glad you liked!

Thanks for sharing all the awesome photos! My favorites were the azaelas.
