World Wide Photo Walk - part 1

Saturday morning, bright and early, our group of about 40 photographers met at the Muttart Conservatory in the Edmonton river valley.  We started out in the gardens there - I love this shot of people busy capturing images.


I decided to show you my nature photos in this post and my city photos in the next one.





This is one of my favourites - it's really hard to capture insects but this little grasshopper was most cooperative :))


Also hard to photograph are birds!  I was inspired to try my hand at it by some photos my nephew shared in his presentation last week - thanks, E!




These were the most interesting buds / blossoms on a plant that had leaves like rhubarb.  I think they are some sort of thistles. 


I really like the composition of elements in this one.

It has been absolutely amazing - and so, so inspiring  - to see other pictures taken on the walk.  You can check it out at our Flickr site.    I took 270 photos in the 2 hours and already I know of some shots that I missed.  I would definitely go on another of these walks again sometime!
