Bouquet

A Bouquet from the Garden

In this case the garden is The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, located in Athens, Georgia. It provides a conservatory and over 300 acres of gardens and natural areas with miles of trails.

The bouquet includes “café art” renderings and photographs. In fact the images range across the “divide”. All are painstakingly processed to bring out what I thought I want to show. In some cases that was done by using a “painterly” approach. For some others I wanted to retain photo-realism yet show the subject impressively. Some of the images are really nearly photo-realistic café art, maybe you will recognize one or two.

As a change of pace, the images here link to pictures in my album “Bouquet from the Garden” on my Ludwig.Photos site. This site has undergone major renovations recently. Indeed, it is still being tweaked. This is the first time that I use any links to it. Some of these might not quite work as expected.
