To the Botanical Garden - again
Tuesday April 24, 2018

The Botanical Garden was calling. A short ride through the Olympia Park, 6.5 km to be exact, and we're there. The last time was on a stormy Easter Sunday. The contrast couldn't be greater. Today we were overwhelmed by beds of tulips in all colors and shapes, blossoming fruit trees, budding lilac, croaking frogs, brilliant spots of dandelion yellow, pansies, magnolias, peonies ...

I had my good (heavy) camera with me and two Lensbaby optics - the Sweet 80 and Velvet 56. I should know better than to leave my standard lens at home. Let's see it as a challenge working with these two interesting but limiting lenses.
