When I read about Gardening Gone Wild's theme for their April photo contest - light - I thought of this picture right away. I took it around New Year's at the Santa Barbara Zoo, and the cheerful backlighting reminds me of everything I miss about California winters - mild temperatures and sun. Ah well, if we can't live in California at least we can visit once in a while. So here's my entry for the April GGW photo contest.
That picture is stunning! Very striking lighting.
ReplyDeleteHi VW, Superb photo - I am taking a photography course (again) so I can take photos just like that by choice instead of by accident. cheers, catmint
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous picture! Good luck on the contest.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Great photo, it's almost as refreshing as a 75 degree day of sunshine (almost). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSuperb entry! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Catmint, I don't think I'm to the point where I take good pictures by choice. I'm pretty sure luck still plays a big part if anything comes out nicely. But one thing I like about photography (and gardening) is that there's plenty to learn for decades to come, so it will never get boring.
ReplyDeleteA sure winner! I love bougainvillea and you've captured it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting shot. I have been fascinated by light too, it is amazing how it can change a picture.
ReplyDeletePretty shot. I love the way the rays of light show in the background. Good luck on the contest!
ReplyDeletePerfect!!!
