Lisgar Gardens, located on a beautiful hillside in the heart of Hornsby, is a well establisehd garden that is known for its range of Camellias and secluded location.
The gardens, covering an area of 2.6 hectares (6.5 acres), are often referred to as "The Secret Gardens" and boasts a variety of native and exotic plant species.
Built on a steep hillside, the garden’s different levels were created by the construction of sandstone block walls. By 1950 the gardens were planted with rhododendrons, azaleas, gardenias and other exotics in harmony with native trees and ferns, highlighting the varieties of camellia.
The gardens now boast more than three hundred specimens of camellias (including over two hundred varieties), mass plantings of annuals in the formal gardens, a covered pavilion for weddings and other celebrations, a shade house containing the fish ponds, three waterfalls, informal lawn areas, picnic tables and a rainforest walk.

Who's ready for spring greenery? Well, it doesn't get any greener than the temperate rain forests in Olympic National Park. In fact, the green here is so intense that it almost doesn't seem real! Did you know there are four rainforests in Olympic NP? Mosses, ferns, Douglas fir, red alders, Western hemlocks, and Sitka spruce thrive in these forests that record 12-14 feet of rain per year!
This is one of my favorite workshops as we photograph such a wide range of landscapes. Rugged coastlines, old-growth rainforest, wildflowers, and glaciated peaks...you get it all!

This shows the lush foliage in the mountains of North Carolina. I was impressed by how many different kinds of plants and wildflowers seemed to be growing all over. Another thing that really comes through in post processing is how very different and shaded all of the trees and vegetation are. there is such a huge range of color that it's fascinating. The human eye picks up a lot of these variations and our brains process the info and tell us, "Wow! This is really gorgeous!" Unfortunately, many cameras don't present those variations in the original SOOC pics. Often a scene looks like just a bunch of green, not purples, reds, yellows and various shades of green and brown. It seems those colors are hidden in the information that was captured, though, and do appear if you tweak the image a bit. That is why I love post processing so much. What the mind "sees", the eyes can, too!
If you look closely, there is a patch of grass to the left of center in the pic, between the distant mountains and the foreground. There appears to be a road there. Perhaps there are homes down there. What a beautiful place to live!
