Road Trip with SeedSower
Recently I made it to The Duh to finally meet Saint Vi and to join up with Seedsower for a small side trip.
We went to the Meijer Garden in Grand Rapids.
We were headed to Chicago, but had a slight shift in plans when Wakeuplaughing posted about the Chihuly Exhibit, since Beth and I both LOVE Chihuly we had to go!
WakeUpLaughing was kind enough to come walk with us, it was a very nice surprise.
SeedSower has posted her pictures HERE
WakeUpLaughings Pictures are HERE and HERE
and here are some of mine!
I was mimicking THIS shot
I left my fisheye on the whole time. *sigh* I wish I hadn’t, but it’s a pain to change it back and forth…
Maybe I need another camera… hmmm…
Tree closeup
A Walla Walla
I could spend a whole day there just shooting the plants.
A Bank of Daisies
I wish I could have gotten a better angle on this one, but I didn’t think the garden would appreciate me climbing on the wall… On the way out I did notice some little kids doing it, next time maybe I should pretend not to know better.
Water Lily and Cloud Reflection
If you have a chance to make it to the exhibit I highly recommend it!
I can’t wait until Seedsower and I have our next adventure!
IS there an adventure on the horizon for you?

you did good Angie!
those are amazing!!!!
I LOVE the last one! I am hoping to get up to the exhibit this fall and see some of the pieces lit up.
Yes, I do have an adventure on the horizon. Already planning my next escapade with Beth. Next summer.
oooh! Pretty!
I love to shoot plants, too. But you probably knew that.
Beautiful shots! That fisheye does some wondrous things — I love Chihuly, but that last shot is absolutely gorgeous! (did you see the western hemisphere in the cloud reflection?)
Ooh, the water lily reflection is perfect!!
Gorgeous pictures. The art display reminds me a lot of the first Willie Wonka movie.
Every day is an adventure around here mornin glorie….I hope to make it to Virginia next month – and maybe to chicago – what a great trip you had … and I like your fisheye photo’s….ilym
@saintvi - Ooo Whatcha doin?
Ang,these turned out beautifully!

But wouldn’t a fish eye be seeing the water lily from underneath?
These are amazing! I really love the first and last and 4th the best.
@Aloysius_son - Now THAT would have been an adventure!

@mercyless1 - Didn’;t you read the part about me being too lazy to change it? Costa RIca! I can’t wait to see those shots!
@Haynes94 - Glass sculptures… Very cool! If you ever get a chance to see some they are really interesting.
Nice adventure and awesome photos! The water lily shot is my favorite.
