"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into."-Henry Beecher, Life Thoughts, 1858
We are up to the letter "H" in Martha's A to Z Photo Challenge. For the letter "E" I showed you some Egrets, but for this time I had to show off the beautiful Blue HERON I found in Tilden Park. The HIBISCUS was photographed at the Conservatory Of Flowers, in Golden Gate Park, in San Francisco.
Pink and Yellow is my favorite color combination. :)
I found this beautiful Blue Heron in Tilden Park. He was walking along the small hill in front of the Brazil Building, which overlooks the Botanic Garden. I love it there. The whole area is so peaceful. I am planning to do lots and lots of photography there this autumn. I am looking for lots and lots of color!

ReplyDeleteHi Carly!
ReplyDeleteYour hibiscus photos are just beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen any so beautiful and I've seen lots of differnt ones here in Florida! Thanks for playing on the challenge. The linking list will be up in a little bit, Martha :-)
I love them both! How appropriate that the Heron was on a hill for you. :)
ReplyDeleteLove both shots.

Why is it every time I visit your blog I get homesick!? :-) Tilden Park and of course the Golden Gate Park (I used to live right across the street from the park off Sunset) are beautiful parks and a great place to be with a camera. I enjoyed that blue Heron walking on the grass. I have one but, he's just standing in the water.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautifully done as always. :-)
