Sunset at the Botanical Gardens

It's after 1:00 a.m. so want to start by thanking you all for getting the subway shot to PP today. Exciting to see it there! And your comments on the bakery trade between photographs and sweets were very fun! I'll catch up tomorrow on comments.
This beautiful fountain sits at the center of the gardens. Junko and I were there for an arts exhibit called Women's Journeys in Fiber, created by one of Junko's friends.
Now it's time for sleep!
A gorgeous shot !

Fire and brimestone coming out of this beautiful lake! Sleep well!

And I thought we had a total loss in terms of outdoor photography today, yet you turn out this beauty! Wonderful depiction of time of evening! Looking forward to your studio shots of the umbrellas, too.

Beautiful capture and the evening light is wonderful. Love the gentle reflections.

Well, it must be 3 AM there now, so I certainly hope you are asleep by now! ;-)) This is a beautiful shot with the spray of the water blending into the night sky, and being reflected in the fountain...

Your 1 a.m. is probably very close to the 3 a.m. that I got out of bed to start my day. I am a morning person.

Lovely scene/composition. What's the red blob in the tree (@left)?
November 6th, 2015  
Your choice of a three second exposure has created a nice balance between the stillness and tranquility of the lake and the dynamic action of the fountain... excellent.
November 6th, 2015  
Love the long exposure and colors. Serene.
November 6th, 2015  
Beautifully done Taffy. Fav.

Hope you slept well. Perfect shutter speed for this
November 6th, 2015  
Wonderful shot.

Beautiful capture. We have a lot of lakes & ponds with fountains in them where I live. With daylight savings now ended I was going to try and take some evening shots of them. I hope they come out 1/2 as nice as yours!
November 6th, 2015  
The colors and gentleness of this lovely shot seem very tender, somehow. Sounds like you have been busy, too! The shutter speed was perfect.
November 6th, 2015

The motion blur of the water is pretty.
November 7th, 2015  
This is so beautiful. Except for the movement of the fountain, the rest of the water looks so still.
November 7th, 2015  
Such beauty and calm!
November 7th, 2015  
@vignouse Thanks Richard...I took some at slower and faster shutter speeds but this seemed the best balance.

Gorgeous tones and lighting!
Taffy I heard you went to see The Martian, did you like it??
I'm going to see it tomorrow.
November 7th, 2015  
@radiogirl Just got home from seeing it. Yes, it's great! We saw it in 3-D which made it a little more worth going to the movies instead of waiting to watch on TV. Matt Damon is great in it, and there's quite an amazing supporting cast. The time frame is about 3 years but they handle it really well. Great scenery too. I think it's worthy of going to the movie theater to see.
November 7th, 2015  
Beautiful reflection and color.
November 8th, 2015  
Lovely shot and composition.
November 8th, 2015  
Lovely!
