Van Dusen Gardens

the secret world of lily pads,
originally uploaded by gail on the web.

In the span of one day I've uploaded one more photo of Van Dusen Gardens.

Now that's progress.

Actually, I did a whole lot of other necessary things wedding-related so Flickr was relegated to the backburner. Makes me wonder how I managed to hold a full-time job, take university courses, and occasionally take part in extra-curricular activities in previous years. Actually, all I have to do is read the archives in this very blog -- those entries were all textual grumblings. Let's not go back there.

Here we have a hypersaturated photo of lily pads in the pond near the entrance to Van Dusen Gardens. I took the saturation as far as it would go on the slider, something I've not done before because it usually blows out all the details in the photo. For some reason beyond my neophyte understanding of Photoshop it brought out the glints of sunlight, making it look fairytale-ish. All that's missing is the frog.

UPDATE: OK, finished uploading the rest of the garden photos. You can find them here:
