~ Good Afternoon ~

This was suppose to be a morning entry but I got pulled in a few different directions.  All good, no worries.   A couple more pictures from my outing at the botanical gardens.  Upon entering and following the path to the right I was greeted by this wonderful waterfall.  How I wish I had shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops on.  The warmth made me want to sit and relax.  The sound of the water falling, bouncing off the 'stone' frame, and landing in the pool at it's base was relaxing and refreshing.  Comforting and soothing.  Oh how I wish!!

 

At the end of my journey through the gardens I was looking at the display of all the spring flowers.  The smell engulfed me.  I was alone with my thoughts.  Then I heard, 'Carly.'  When I turned and looked Carly came running to me.  She was soft and fluffy with the exception of having some water droplets on her from running through the rain.  I tried to get a few shots but she was always close to her 'master'.   She was examining the flowers and I called her name.  OMG!  She looked.  Snap!  I was able to get rid of her master from the photo.  The more I looked the more I wished I had this shot for Easter, but alas too late.  Spring works though, don't you think?  :::giggle:::

Well, I've been in front of this box for much longer then I wanted this morning.  I'm off to get something done.  Anything.  Enjoy your day and with any luck I will get something accomplished today.

 

Hugs

What a great tag with Carly in it.  I'm glad you are having fun with your new lens.
Talk about being in front of the box too much...I'm starting to worry about myself.  How in the world do you work, do tags, take photo's and keep up with alerts and emails.  I admit it...I'm struggling and my feet are swollen and my house needs cleaning...lol.
Hugs, Joyce

I love the lamb picture... you are getting quite good with that camera. Have you visited Greg's Photo Trek journal? You should... he's always writing great tips, for the beginner, the intermediate, and the professional. Here's his link:

The waterfall looks like a nice relaxing spot to be at the gardens.  The shot of the lamb is precious.  It really comes when it's master calls?  Wow, I had not idea.

That was a sweet shot.. who would think you'd see a lamb running around. How random. Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Chrissie
