Amber was an art major in college, so she's really good with pictures. You'll be able to tell right away which ones were hers. It had rained in the night, and since we visited first thing in the morning (and by that, I mean 11:00ish), all the plants were still covered in raindrops. They were beautiful.
Amber taught me to use the macro setting (as if I even know what that means) on my camera to get some close-ups.
Skyepuppy, I needed your tutorial in front of me....you would have found better shots!
Here was some of the ornamental grass:
Raindrops on roses....
This was one of my first attempts. I'd actually taken a picture of this before she taught me about the setting, and I went back and redid it. I should have kept the first one to show the difference. But...I was trying to conserve memory card space.
Amber...taking pictures of me with my newfound skill. The rest of the pictures on down are her creations. Enjoy them!
Better raindrops on a prettier rose:
LOVE this one.
And this one:
Some of my other close ups were on the teaser post from earlier this week. Hope you enjoyed the close-ups! If I ever go back to Hershey, this would definitely be on my must-see list again. I know it has nothing to do with chocolate, but it was beautiful. And I'd kind of like to see it on a sunny day, too!

Your pictures are pretty too!
I like the last picture (Amber's) the best, because even though I know it's raindrops, there's something about it that looks like an icy wonderland.
Yeah - isn't that great? Those plants were gorgeous in real life - and they looked icy there too. Thankfully it WASN'T ice. ick!
