Description

Hi all.It was late in the day and we were on our first day of touring Scotland when suddenly the overcast skies turned to bright sunshine.This was ironic because I was going to be taking garden shots which are best shot under non-sunny conditions,(at least as far as I'm told).But the sun was gloriously white!And it felt so warming and summer-like!Off came the multiple sweat-shirts,lol,and Scotland was suddenly transformed. Okay.So the highlights are a bit much.But the colors are beautiful and the shadows are long.And I'm grateful it looks even half-way decent because I have no idea what I'm doing,lol!I resized it and framed it.That's all.It is what it is.To me it looks like an impressionist painting waiting to be done.And maybe i will one day... I also want to thank those of you who tried to see my last upload,"Tomnaverie View"Tomnaverie Some of you were kind enough to tell me you wanted to see it but couldn't.I've resized it temporarily for you. I have never done a link before and I seriously doubt this will work!All I can say is I'll fix it as soon as I can if it doesn't. Have a great one everybody!I'm still trying to get through my e-bots from when I was gone.Please be patient with me. As always,thanks for looking!-Marlene :)

This is absolutely magnificent; one would hardly believe that this 'flower jungle' was in Scotland - so bright and profuse - I could be lost there for weeks and use up a dozen memory cards! Brilliant!

Awwwww, what a beautiful compo Marlene. I like how that little path leading up to that...thing...(dictionary is upstairs i think) is kept off centered like that. Gorgeous colours indeed!!! Are gardenshots best shot under nonesunny conditions? Really? I would have thought it was the other way around. Another tip for the notebook it seems, thanks #:O) Have a wonderful day!!!

I love the bright colours of this cottage garden. Got me wishing it was summer here and all the flowers were blooming. Love your POV too.

Now this is beautifully colorful!! The highlights are a tad burnt out indeed but it's not that shocking here cos the eyes are drawn to those magnificent flowers and their feast of colors! What a luminous scene Marlenouche! :)

Perfect composition and light. The foreground is stunning with the array of colorful flowers, and the quaint structure anchors the shot so nicely. You have a terrific eye and lots of talant.

Wonderful! And trust me, gardens are far more beautifull in sunlight.. I go to some pond gardens nearby my parents house... they look ten times more beautifull only because of sunlight... My upload of today is taken there as well, when sun broke through after rain.

a wonderful composed and colored garden impression! did you notice the obsession of the scots for garden and plants? and it sounds that you also went into wrong directions tricked by the weather! LOL ;o)
