I visited wonderful botanical gardens in Maine a couple of years ago, but for some reason never had the time to edit the photographs. This is one that I particularly liked as the tones and colours and softness reminded me of a painting. It brings back memories of balmy, sunny, long summer days, with bees and butterflies flitting among the beautiful flowers.
The year of weekly projects is drawing to a close and I have to say it was not one that worked well for me. I have missed several themes – perhaps because I do not want to be given themes, but prefer to come up with them myself.
Thank you +baran bahari
very beautiful
Thanks so much +Jon Cassill

And that was exactly what I wanted, which is why your comment was so perfect, +Sofie Løve Forsberg 🙂
I'm aware you do not go for paint effects, but that is the impression your photo channels to me. After all, Monet was an impressionist 😉
Thanks so much +Christina Lihani
That is a lovely thing to say, a real compliment, thank you +Sofie Løve Forsberg – the scene was very much that way, so I took the photo and worked to make it even closer, within limits. I don't go for paint effects (not for me, though I appreciate many love them) and so kept to Lightroom effects only in this.
Such a dreamy mood – Monet is one of my absolutely favourite painters and you hit the style perfectly . So beautifully done, Ellie!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks very much +Rumiana Nikolova 🙂
Wonderful & beautiful captured !
LOL Andrew! I decided the community thing is not for me. Not into the monthly thing, I feel communities have made our streams the poorer. I can't comment on them and they don't get notified to me.

Thanks so much +Martin Matejic sir M!
+sarvesh rajput – thanks a lot.
Thanks so much +Andrew Westbury – glad you like it, too! 😉 Projects not completed, but hope to do the one properly for the next year! A 365 might work better for me. Although more intense, for sure.
