Brookside Conservatory - February 2014
/It is so cold outdoors today….I decided to ‘think warm’ by picking my favorite images captured at the Brookside Gardens conservatories a few weeks ago. Conservatories are deliciously warm places to visit in the winter!
On this visit - I did some experimentation with by 8x magnification loupe. All the images in the post include a photo taken with the camera and then one or two images captured with the loupe to add to the magnification.
The fuzz on the petals and imperfections become more obvious.
I’d never seen the variegated croton fruit before. They are almost as colorful as the foliage!
The veins of the hibiscus bud stand out in both magnifications.
Next time, I will make an effort to get magnified views of flower parts!
Just looking at the vibrant colors of these flowers makes me feel warmer!
