This afternoon I went to one of the Botanical Gardens in Lisbon, which happens to be almost on my street. It has been a long time that I wanted to visit it, but time flies and it never seems to be the right moment. A few days ago I saw some pictures of a Botanical Garden in one of my friends in Flickr and decided that this visit had to be made asap!
Today I really needed this time to wander around fresh trees, exotic plants, lakes and swans… I was missing a photography trip, and also needed to focus and to clear my mind with some dark clouds around my head.
I found that peace, but unfortunately I found a very sad scenery… it appears that this garden has not been taken care of just as it needs. Though I found some pretty scenarios for my photography session, I also found dirty lakes… with some very green water (it reminded me of Shrek!), greenhouses closed to the public, empty lakes and streams… it appeared to me that trees were being taken care off, animals too… there were even peacocks, which I always find fascinating… those amazingly beautiful feathers and that magnificent dark and shiny blue… oh nature has its own way towards perfection, hasn’t it?
So, as I told I also found pretty details to capture… here are a few.
{a green lake for shrek}
{a fabulous hawaiian skirt?}
{is it growing in the sky?}
{too attached?}
{a green sky?}
{a magical garden?}
{two exquisite green hearts?}
See you around, friends!! May you all have a sweet thursday!
