The Spring 2010 Photo Walk started out will a steady rain coming down as 11 of us gathered under the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden Viewing Pavilion. A pretty nice showing in this weather. After handing out several recycled Op/Tech 18" SLR Rainsleeves and passing along some tips on using the rain as a subject, the group headed out for, what would be several hours of photographic opportunities.
Here are some photographs I made during the event. Later this week, I'll post a few images captured by some of the other walk participants.

With our Spring 2010 Photo Walk coming up this Sunday, I took a pre-walk through the Brooklyn Botanical Garden this past weekend. With the warmer weather we've experienced here in the Northeast over the last few weeks, the cherry blossoms and tulips are in full bloom. If you can, don't miss the opportunity to experience the colors first hand that are exploding throughout this 52-acre oasis.
Hope you enjoy these images. Better yet, join us on our upcoming photo walk. Remember, no experience required. Point-and-shoot, dSLR, or just your appreciative senses, it will be a great experience.

It's that time of year for our Annual Spring Photo Walk. When the color starts taking over the barren landscape. Blossoms begin to open to show their beauty, the breeze gets a little warmer, the light stays longer. It's Spring in all its glory!
We meet inside at the Viewing Pavilion in the Japanese Hill-an-Pond Garden. Our walk is slated to last approximately 2 hours as we leisurely stroll through the Brooklyn Botanical Garden photographing the floral displays that present themselves along our path. We will end at the Terrace Cafe where you can grab a light lunch (optional).
The Garden is 52 acres of beautiful theme gardens and walks which was founded more than 100 years ago. The garden sits adjacent to Prospect Park and the Prospect Park Zoo. Ample Parking is available, and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden can easily be reached by bus and subway.
So join us as we walk, talk, share and photograph the wonderous Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
