Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
It was just barely blooming when I went this year (April 5th) this year– I went to a new smaller garden right next to the big ones. It was called Garden Rosalyn. It was all sculpted with beautiful wavy lines. There were no big fields. It was beautiful. I can only imagine when in full bloom.
I turned this into a Van Gogh style painting.
I had fun after my macro shooting session making art. Below is the original.
When I hike, I’m always seeing faces in trees and stumps. I saw this right away. (yes, I added the eyes but the sockets were already there!)
The Whitney Gardens had a greenhouse full of beautiful blooming bleeding heart plants. The only trouble was trying to isolate a branch. So I did remove a lot of competing plants and add a texture to the background in photoshop to make this beautiful flower stand out.
The gardens comprise 30 hectares adjacent to Sydney Harbour. They are open and free and exquisitely maintained. This was a green house with a wrap around living mosaic wall and so many types of orchids and succulents. (These were all taken with my pixel phone.)
These chairs at Olympic Bluffs lavender and Cidery looked very tempting with their spectacular view of the Olympics.
Lots of venders–many art and jewelry tents, food, and of course LAVENDER!
