This brings me to the conclusion of the photos that I took this past weekend at Busch Gardens. Oh, I took far more than the 27 shots you’ve seen… but these were the ones I shot with an eye toward form and colour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Much like the snapdragons that were in front of the “window” in “Germany”,\u00a0 here are another set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Near the Roman Rapids ride in the Festa Italia section of the park is a waterfall, and shooting station where you can pay an quarter to shoot a stream of water on the passing by riders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Daisies, Tulips and Dusty Miller come together to … I can’t explain it other than to say it makes me happy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using Bokeh (or depth of field to throw the background out of focus is something I enjoy experimenting with. Here, the red tulip and pink snapdragon are the same distance from the lens.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wonder what happens once everything blooms out. Do they take the plants back to the greenhouse? Do they collect seeds? Or … are they merely turned into mulch?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A straight down shot. Almost looks like a space pod opening up!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What you first see upon entering, and what you last see when exiting the park. The change from the fountain is donated to charity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, when the heat of summer hits, these delicate pansies will be history. I’d not seen the dusty rose\/lavender before, at least not this season.<\/p>\n[audio:https:\/\/www.eyesofsilverblue.com\/cu-ta.mp3]\n
