Meadowlark Botanical Gardens - Vienna, Virginia
It was a perfect spring day today. So, what better way to spend it than by wandering around a botanical garden? However, I was not the only one with this brilliant idea. The 95 acres were filled with families, couples getting their engagement photos taken, people like me just snapping away and oh, there was also a wedding going on! Quite the busy place for a Sunday.
I really took advantage of my macro lens today (as you'll see below), and the grass stains and dirt on my jeans prove it. I spent two hours trying to take in every plant and flower that was there, and even a turtle or two. I do regret only spending about 5 minutes sitting and really enjoying Meadowlark Botanical Gardens without a camera up to my eye, but I know I'll be going back there. I haven't explored it all yet!
