Day in Hort Gardens

OK so it was only a few hours but very nice.
I had to go to Hort gardens on campus to shot a video about my work with the RAD class etc and spent a some time taking some photos. I am amazed that there is somewhere so beautiful on campus that I never knew about. After shooting the video, I took a little bit of time and took some photos.

For my birthday (in feb), I got a set of macro tubes - cheaper than a lens but still allow you to do macro photography, something I really want to try. The conditions weren't great - thank you Blacksburg wind! - but I had fun playing.






I also had a lot of fun playing with the fish, who may have thought I was going to feed them. Ooops. But at least they posed.


Bubbles when I didn't produce the food.




I didn't take any of the dead fish. I guess nothing is perfect. 
I loved the little waterfall and the whole place was so peaceful. Not sure if that's normal or just because of the student s in exams.  




I loved the gardens. They were so peaceful. I also got a remind of Blacksburg summer. Humid and hot. Love the latter. The humid part isn't so much fun. But after last winter, any heat is very welcome! And a great way to spend a Monday afternoon. :-)
