A Morning At The Nelumbo Pond

Lotus Flower - Matt Carr

Ahhh, the serenity. Nothing like a morning walk through the Botanical Gardens. The birds chirping. The wind whistling through the branches. The rapid click of a camera shutter. The desperate cry of a distressed photographer. “Damn Duck Poo….”

Saturday morning saw the first (informal) outing of the year for members of the Blackwood Photographic Club. Matt, Chris, James and Ashley all ventured to a very quiet Adelaide Botanical Gardens, to see whether they could get some worth while photo’s of the Flowering Lotus.  I don’t know whether it was the bike race or simply a Saturday morning, but it was blissfully quiet!

Anyhow, you be the judge to see whether they shot anything worthwhile!  (Click on the pictures to open them)

Don’t forget that if anyone has an idea for an outing, please let any of the committee members know.

Cheers
