Saturday, my wife Heather and I went to Tulsa’s Woodward Park. I wanted to check out the Azaleas. That’s Heather above with her hands on her hips like she is ready to do something. She is always ready to pitch in!
The Azaleas were nice but not like last year but we loved it anyway. Above is a photo using my lensball. It is a spherical piece of glass that I keep in my car. It sure makes for nice photos, once I learned how to use it. One trick is that most of my photos with are inverted since it inverts the scene in front of it.
Here is a two tone photo of Azaleas in the shade. I have learned how to do manual exposure and blah, blah, blah with my camera but I forgot to set the white balance to shade and it is hard (for me) to correct for that after the fact. Oh well, I’ll take it anyway.
The Linnaeus Demonstration Gardens at Woodward Park had a butterfly garden. Heather had her notebook out and was making notes. I think we might have one in the near future.
Woodward Park had some iris’s also. I love them!!
We saw lots of flowers, and stopped and chatted with a couple from out of town who asked about what to see in Tulsa. A great time was had by all!!
How very gorgeous!
Woodward Park is a beautiful place in the spring.
I love Iris. They remind me of my grandmother’s house. She always had Iris in her front flower bed.
Great photos! I love all flowers
Have a wonderful week!
The azaleas are beautiful. I killed a couple azaleas, not going to try again.
Beautiful place. Butterfly garden would be cool.
In my part of the world, azaleas and rhododendrons are all in bloom. My favorite time of year! I’ve never heard of a lens ball, but it looks like it would be fun to experiment with. It sure produced a gorgeous and unusual photo.
