Yeah...I was thinking that "feeling the love" would involve people of some sort, but I think it's more about capturing how much fun I had with my friends at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens last weekend. This is my favorite shot of the day. The little sign near it said that it's witchhazel. I've never seen anything like it before and when I think of witchhazel I think of Tucks medicated pads and then I just laugh and laugh.
So, I took along three friends who weren't really into "photowalk" mode, but they were great sports. Then, I was a little surprised and really thrilled when they all pulled out their "little" cameras and phones and started playing when we went into the tropical plant house. We ended up in there for about an hour and all had sooooo much fun exploring camera and filter features. It was awesome!
I got a shutterfly coupon in the mail this week and decided to order a copy of this one. Can't wait to see what it looks like live!
There are lots of photographer/bloggers out there sharing love this week...
Such a beautiful photo!
