It was a beautiful early Spring Day (early April) and the magnolias and rhododendrons were in bloom.

We sat in a hide and gazed through the window slots at this peaceful pond or lake. As a gentl breeze blew across the top of the water, specular highlights shimmered towards us. Impossible to capture the movement in a still photograph, I still attempted to get the magic of the scene.

A couple days after our hike from Devil’s Dyke (about 3 weeks ago, now), friends who were members took us to see the Wakehurst Botanical Garden. I carried 2 cameras: one with a 16-55mm zoom (24 – 82mm equivalent) and the other with the 60mm macro (90mm equivalent). It was hard not to take lots of pretty pictures which I’ll be showing here over the next few days.
