The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York has spring flowers. It took me a while to edit and enhance these. I will make two posts. I did not be take any pictures of the temporary (until October) “art” exhibit which is very ugly and detracts from the beauty of the garden.
I smiled at your comment about the garden’s added art. The only time I’ve found myself wishing I could see a garden/art combination in person was when I saw photos of Dale Chihuly’s glass botanical installations.
That last photo is a gem. The combination of the concave branch and the convex shadows is perfect. The Japanese Andromeda is stunning. The shape of the flowers reminds me of something I saw in east Texas, which I couldn’t identify. I need to make another run at that.
I saw the Chihuly exhibit at NYBG years ago and loved it. His glasswork fits in so well with nature. Kusama’s polka dots do not blend in at all https://www.nybg.org/. I wish I knew the name of the last red flowering tree. Thanks you so much 🙂
🙂 I masked the flowers as a separate layer and added filters and texture layers underneath to the backgrounds in Photoshop. That helps make the flowers stand out.
