a photo journey

~ Make sure to look through October for pictures from my trip to Italy. This whole working thing is really throwing off my regular-posting groove!

Botanical Gardens Sydeny - Cactus Garden

This was such a beautiful day to be out in the sunshine. Micah and our roommates and I went out for a day in the city, to visit the botanical gardens and then to one of the galleries. We puttered around the gardens for a couple of hours, eventually arriving in the cactus garden. What a wonderful little area this is! The garden is wonderfully laid out and the style of this garden is quite different from the more Victorian style main garden(s).

As one of my roommates sat to enjoy the sun, I was really taken by the ochre red of the sculpture behind her. The combination of the almost harsh sun, the cacti and the lines in the sculpture/flower bed structure are really quite something. The addition of my roommate, I think, sets the whole thing up for the perfect picture.
