to lie beneath the trees

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
― John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

You sure are clever with this processing business!!

@gigiflower thank you kind lady - mostly trial and error - playing around and also asking around :)

[Annie D]

@gigiflower that is a very lovely park btw - 'specially being right in the middle of the CBD

[Sam]

@annied oooohhh yes, there are a few of them like that!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower yes - i didn't get a chance to see Fitzroy Gardens or get to St Kilda so I will have to return

[Sam]

@annied You have SO MUCH more to see of Melbourne ;)

[Annie D]

@gigiflower I know - pretty much hung around the CBD - Museum, Casino, Zoo, Aquarium and around the streets

[Sam]

@annied The city is still wonderful.......but you got to get out to the Yarra Valley, the Dandenongs, the Mornington Peninsula (Portsea!) and Daylesford area. Most of my photos are taken in these areas every weekend :) You would LOVE it!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower I am sure I would - I will have to look into driving down for a holiday

[AC]

Once again, your processing is spot-on!

[Annie D]

@3rdxoff thank you so much :)

[April]

I like how you framed the person with trees and your editing on this. Very nice!

[Babs]

Great shot and you do really have to just watch the clouds sometimes. With all the things Sam @gigiflower has got planned for your next trip to Melbourne, you will have to move there.

[Kathie]

Great capture and framing.

[Annie D]

@aecasey @kathiecb thanks so much :)

@annied Know what you mean, we lived there for 6 years and we only visit Deb in summer now. ha ha.
