...yes, yes, I can hear the groans from here, shutup, you don't need to click on the cut... ;-)

Another three-way today ;-) Me, [livejournal.com profile] nicci_mac and [livejournal.com profile] ximeria at the Botanic Gardens. Xim showed me the other day how to use the macro properly, so this was a great excuse *g*



First though, a picture of the glasshouses that we spent all of our time in today. Just because it's a lovely building.

The flowers in all the different habitats were utterly glorious. There were cacti and succulents, and strelitzias, and orchids galore, and really odd yellow bud-type things, lord alone knows what they were.

Edit Xim found out what the odd yellow bud things are (all hail Ximeria and the power of her google fu) - a variety of ginger, apparently :-)

The temperate houses had some little gems too.

But my absolute favourite picture of the day was this one. I just love love LOVE how the water turned out, like old 1950s squiggly wallpaper (except not that vile mustard yellow *g*).

I seriously doubt if it's good enough for that - it's good by my standards though *g*

I believe people should stop saying no for others. In other words, stop taking away other people's choices! You submit the work and let THEM decide whether they like it or not.

So there.
