Thanks so much to my friend, Daniela who told me about Green Spring Gardens. I had no idea this place existed and loved that they have water lilies. Funny that the gardens is right next to the neighborhood where I grew up.
So we made it to the tulip fields a little too late. Most of the tulips had already been harvested and all that were left were ones that were in Roozengaarde. Some were even wilting a little bit but I thought it was beautiful in its own way. They opened up so much more and you could really examine their insides. They also created these bigger and fuller shapes which made for a beautiful pov from the top.
While everyone is waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom in the city, I was out over the weekend checking out the Magnolia trees. These trees are so beautiful and I love seeing them starting to bloom.
I’ve also been concentrating more on seeing what I love, simplicity and trying to stay true to my aesthetics. It’s not always shooting architecture with an amazing sky in the background. It’s about appreciating the little things in life that make me smile.
I can’t believe with all the great weather we’ve been having the water is still frozen. Isn’t that crazy! It reminds me of a picture I saw earlier in the winter of tourists standing on the water because it was so frozen. I had thought about while I was there but decided it was probably not a good idea. HAHA
The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was check my phone to see what the weather was like outside. The app said 21 degrees and mostly cloudy. Sounds like the perfect excuse to stay in bed, but I didn’t. We haven’t had any cloudy days recently and if there was any chance for a nice sunrise, today was going to be the day. I dragged myself out of bed and the first thing I said when I left my house was, “ohhh shizzle”. But in a good way 🙂
The reflecting pool in DC is a great spot to take pictures. Sunrise or sunset, it doesn’t disappoint. Unless they are renovating it or doing some kind of construction, which is very likely in the city. Usually doesn’t disappoint.
