The Creative Exchange

I found something new (to me)...
The Creative Exchange!

This flower pic was taken at Shaw's/Missouri Botanical Gardens
in St. Louis, Missouri & I chose it because I used to go there w/ my grandparents
every summer when they were still w/ us.
This past October, my uncle & I went back and I was able to take
quite a few pics & I'll be posting them here in the weeks to come...
plus, I'm sick of winter & I'm aching to see some beautiful, colorful flowers again!

Gorgeous, Tricia.... I love the colors in that one. I too love seeing flowers anytime of the year, but especially in winter..

Glorious.
And thank you for that comment.

Tricia - This is such a fantastic photograph, and so perfect for right now, when I think there are probably many who feel as you do (ready for spring). I know I surely am! A gorgeous shot of color to remind us that spring truly does exist.
Thank you so much for sharing this today at The Creative Exchange.
Have a great day!

I'm totally ready for this nice splash of color. A fine flower close up. It must have been nice to return to these old haunts.

Kathleen said...

It's beautiful! And I'm right there with you...would love to see spring!!

Ryan said...

Beautifully warm shot, I recently visited Edinburgh's celebrated Royal Botanical gardens where they have flowers and plants from around the world. A photographers dream, you'd love it there Tricia.

So bright and cheerful and striking! I love these happy colors!

Jacob said...

Hi Trish! Re your comment on Ocala DP today: Why did I know that you would find that picture on the bag to be the most interesting thing in the photo? :-)

Rebecca said...

A sight for sore eyes. I will have to check out Creative Exchange.

I think you will like the book. I have several of his books and I love the way he writes and makes things so easy to understand.
