Just some shots from a stroll through the Halifax Public Gardens today and one from the walk back to the office. Warning: Flower alert!

Looks like flowers were not your point of interest in shot 4, Iggy! I really like that steeple shot!

Love the lighting on the orange flower and the church spire.

I think you nailed the focus in shot 4

That purple in shot one is really striking....nice catch.

I like to try and get the odd candid whenever I can and for some reason my eye was wandering her way.

Thanks, AntZ and Casil. I just love the colours - they make me feel happy

Apparently holding ducklings makes MA feel the same way!

oh and I thought it was shot 4 that made you happy

I like the one of the petals peeled back.

The purple one, with the pistil lit up and a scattering of pollen on some of the inside petals. I like that one. I played around with one the same color recently. Let's just say you were a lot more successful dealing with the tones and contrast than I was.

Thanks. Just lucky with the angle of the sun maybe. Cheers
