I honestly don’t remember taking this picture. It was taken sometime in 2010 when I was going to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens a lot to practice my macro photography work. Personally, I think macro photography is a completely different way of seeing. Seeing and noticing little details that you would never notice just walking by. But when you stop and study what you’re looking at, you have to learn to subtract to make an even better image with the small details.
A few weeks ago, I spent a really rainy morning at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. We took breaks in and out of the rain until it finally stopped. Luckily, the cherry blossoms were still in bloom and I got to take this beautiful shot with rain droplets.
We’ve all know the cherry blossoms around the tidal basin (or if you follow my blog regularly, you definitely know them), but have you heard of weeping cherry blossoms? I hadn’t heard of them until after one day towards the end of the cherry blossom season when Navin told me about them. I thought it sounded really cool and it was a coincidence the very next day, I go to Meadowlark Botanical Garden and they were in full bloom. They are so beautiful!
The last two images of the week were older ones. The tornados eneded up being a little too much for this photographer. So, I posted an image of the Albert Einstein Memorial (how cute is Albie?) and the Kennedy Center at sunrise.
Two very exciting things happened this week (not in any particular order) 1. I was a finalist in the FotoDC Cherry Blossom Competition. Jump to 6:50 to see my image. 2. I’m in an ebook! 50 Awesome Things to do in Washington DC is not just an ordinary guide to DC. It’s so much more than that with restaurants, events, and tons of places to visit. Check it out for FREE!
Hope you all have a great weekend! I’ll be back next week with some awesome images of Vegas and maybe a vlog or two 🙂
