The Wave Garden macro shots (from the San Francisco Garden Bloggers Fling)...

Last weekend I spent some time editing photos taken at the Wave Garden, in Point Richmond, CA (one of our stops on the 2013 SF Garden Bloggers Fling). I found myself repeatedly getting lost in the deep saturated colors. Everything outside my windows was a white blur and had been for a couple of days. Before that things had taken on the grey-brown tint I associate with frozen soil and foliage. I was color starved! Today’s post consists of some of my favorite macro-shots from that day. Color combos, plant close-ups, and texture shots, full-scene photos of the garden to follow on another day. Enjoy!

    Amazing what snow can make you crave for but looking at your photos made me realise how plant colour photo hungry I am as well!

    There sure are a lot of Proteaceae in that garden! You can never have enough of them. Wish our climate were mild enough to grow proteas. But leucadendrons are a good runner-up. Nice aeoniums too!

    Oh the Proteaceae! Why must you tempt me so? Beautiful pictures. Just what I needed after working outside in the cold and snow all day. I love the contrast of chartreuse with burgundy/purple, one of my favorite color combos.

    Lovely Loree..this was prior to my camera malfunction although the sun was surely a challenge. I hope to get back there this spring on an early morning...your close ups are a perfect solution to that hot light...
