Flowers & Fauna From Brookgreen Gardens -...

This is a continuation on my flower and fauna tour of Brookgreen Gardens from September 11th. If you haven't seen the first post, you can visit it here.

Brookgreen Gardens butts up against a river. I hadn't toured the wetlands area on my last visit. So it was cool to get to see it this time.

If the rainy weather holds off this week, I'll probably go back and visit the gardens again.

There were a few shots I took that didn't turn out quite the way I wanted and I'd like the opportuity to retake them.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the rest of the flowers in Brookgreen Gardens. Thanks for viewing my work.

lovely photographs.... I often wish that I lived in an area that was exposed to such beauty. Perhaps I do and have not yet found it.

Such beautiful pictures from your visit. I haven't been out taking any pictures in almost a week!
Did your new camera arrive? Are you going to review it...or let us know if you like it/hate it?

Marianne R. Sep 16, 2009, 4:42pm EDT

Yes it arrived on Saturday. The water bird shots in my gallery and the photo of abbey were taken with it. Nothing to review. It's barely different from what I had.

I love seeing all of your BEAUTIFUL pictures, just gorgeous.
What kind of camera do you use?
Thanks for sharing. I'd love to go to Brookgreen Gardens.

Marianne R. Sep 16, 2009, 8:08pm EDT

Both Priscilla and I use a Sony Cybershot DSC H10.

Very beautiful flowers! Do you know what the bright orange one is (2 above the coneflower)? I've seen them around here and they seem to do well in my climate.

Marianne R. Sep 16, 2009, 4:42pm EDT

Some kind of Canna, isn't it?
