25 March 2006
I've been in Leigh on Sea the past couple of days, but my mom and I went to Kew before heading out east. Surprisingly, I had never been to Kew before this past week (perhaps it's less surprising when you consider how infrequently I travel into the W/SW postcodes). I thought there would be more flowers in bloom in the green houses (there weren't many), but the greenery was still very welcome, considering this has been the coldest March in, what -- twenty years?

wonderful photos, Anna!

Shinyruby -- I use a Nikon D70, which I really love. Two of the above photos were taken with my standard 28-90mm lens, and two were taken with my macro lens (which is great as long as there's enough light).

Lovely photos - thanks for sharing. The lily pads are particularly lovely. It feels like forever since we've seen anything GREEN here - drought and water restrictions make for a yellow and brown landscape in my part of the world.

Nice photos, I especially like the lily leaves with that dark blue wood,flatness never looked so good.

Gosh, Anna, you are a fantastic photographer! I swear I can't take a single shot without a tripod anymore. You must not drink caffeine, then? :-)
