Today was Photography Day at Toledo Botanical Gardens. It offered an opportunity to wander TBG along with equipment and professionals from Castle Photo in Toledo. We were able to try different lenses etc and take seminars in composition etc. I loved the Macro lens and also found out that there is a whole world of settings on my point and shoot that I wasn't utilizing! And it was so calming and peaceful in that beautiful setting. I have been there for the annual Festival of the Arts, but it is so crowded on that day you cannot appreciate the beautiful gardens. We did find some humor in our pictures. The large peonies are actually glass and were made on site at the glass blowing studio. The pink allium were stunning----until one of the students in the class confessed that she is a member of the Garden and they after they finished blooming, they were spray painted pink!! We all laughed at that. The birdhouse was for sale and I was ready to buy it for our flower bed until I saw the sign that warned to be careful of the nesting chicadees. How sweet was that!It was a good day in the Garden and we found out in July and August, they host a Thursday evening Jazz concert. Bring chairs and a picnic supper and enjoy great music. Someone in our group, who worked at the Garden winked and told us they don't check what is brought in the picnic baskets----so we will be enjoying wine with our meal too!!
