Fire Bush...

This was one of the bushes at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens that had some very nice lighting effects on it. It looks like the brining bush at night. I tried to get all of the bush in the picture, but I couldn’t fit it in the field of view on my camera, so I got all that I could.

This was the best of the set . I took several more but they were blurry. Night photography is my bane!

The Conservatory is the "Jewel of the Garden." This 11,000 square-foot complex houses exotic and unusual plants from around the world in its permanent collection and features beautiful seasonal displays. Crowned by a 63-foot-tall dome, the Conservatory includes a central Palm House, a semi-tropical wing featuring our orchid collection, and two wings with changing themed displays full of seasonal color and interest.

This tree was inside the Tobacco company where we ate last night. The food was VERY GOOD!! The place was decorated with Victorian Christmas ornaments all over the restaurant. It was a very festive evening with a good jazz blues band playing in the bar area. The tree is about 3 stories tall and can bee viewed from all levels of the bar.

This was near the end of the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens Christmas walk that we did last night. I thought that it was a good shot and it turned out well.

Sun Behind a Cloud...

This was also taken on September 16, 2007 in the same field as the two previous pictures in the last post. I thought that it was neat how the sun was behind the clouds but it was so bright that it nearly washed out the clouds.

I took this on September 16, 2007 in a vacant field in Sandston Viriginia. The field is located off of Technology Blvd.

I was going to work on that night and I have taken other pics from that field. I saw this cloud and thought that it would make a nice shot. I hope that everyone likes it...
