It’s been raining here in the SF Bay Area for the past week, and today would be the one day break before another week of rain. I took advantage of warm 60 degree weather and blue skies to head to the SF Botanical Garden to take some photos of one of my favorite places. I was rewarded with some great pink magnolias (magnolia campbelli), a few hummingbirds, etc.
Here are the hummingbirds- check out the second one- I was taking a photo of the flower, and it flew into the shot!
Here are the Magnolias!!!! Always a treat each year, and I try to take photos that show how the light plays with their blossoms- they sometimes look like vibrant pink lanterns against a blue sky, or lanterns against grayish backgrounds- really fascinating to me to observe- nature truly is amazing.
Some other birds were also around the park
My paving stone at the SF Botanical Garden- near the fountain- go check it out if you visit!
