I haven’t been to Central Park in quite a while. We went there on Saturday, September 4 for a morning walk. It was so nice to see so many of my birding friends there. There wasn’t a large number of birds, but the few I found where nice ones. The best was a humming bird and a Bay-breasted Warbler.

I spent a few hours today adding new backgrounds to these in Photoshop.

Little Island is now open at 6 am on. It is nice to go there before the crowds.

There is a plastic camera glued to he road divide. I made a pattern out of the picture in Photoshop’s Library then adjusted it to fit over the image.

6 of 6 of the New York Botanical Gardens. I know the frog isn’t a scene. I like frogs so I included it.

Lotuses and Lilies

4 of 6 of the New York Botanical Gardens. I like the sculptural form of the lily seed pods. Each one is slightly different. I replaced most of the backgrounds and enhanced my photographs in Photoshop.

I just learned the difference between a lotus and a lily:

Lotuses belong to the family Nelumbonaceae. The leaves and flowers of a lotus rise above the water’s surface.
Water lilies belong to the family Nymphaeaceae. The leaves and flowers of a water lily float on the water surface. The leaves of a tropical water lily float on the water surface, but its flowers are about 6-8 inches above the water surface.

3 of 6 of the New York Botanical Gardens. The red rose is an oddball in this series, but it is a rose.

2 of 6 of the Bronx Botanical Gardens series. You may notice that I swapped out backgrounds in some of these.

While the weather was hot to hot to enjoy going out I stayed home and worked on the photographs I took in the New York Botanical Gardens, Bronx, New York on August 18, 2011. There are so many that I would like to share I will be posting these for six days.
