After having to call the trip off on the 16th April, due to such bad weather, we decided to try again on the 30th April.

The day dawned fine, with no wind, and was close to perfect for capturing the Autumn colours. There were 8 of us altogether, and we more or less followed a path that took us from the Band Rotunda, through the maples, into the NZ garden and finally ended up at the cafe for a well earned coffee, where we could chat and swap notes as to what we had seen and done during the morning.

A special thanks must be given to Sue Blair, who inspired a lot of us to try out doing ‘creative and arty’ work with all the colours that were in front of us. We look forward to seeing some of these images for our upcoming exhibition.

Most of us had a range of lenses from long to macro, and there was definitely something there for all of us to see. We are very lucky to have such a beautiful garden on our doorstep.
