Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens

I continue to find photos from my Australia trip that I meant to share, but somehow didn't.  One of the coolest places that I visited in Australia was the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens.  It reminded me a lot of Central Park in New York City -- beautiful green park in the middle of a big vibrant city; an oasis of sorts.  And yet, at the same time, it was so foreign -- so many unusual-to-me plants and plenty of giant spiders!  Take a peek:

I'm pretty sure you can feel the heat in this last photo!  It was pretty darn warm.

I thought I'd share these photos for two reasons:

  1. There's lots of pretty stuff to look at.
  2. There's lots of stuff to draw.

Most of the time I draw the flowers and leaves and trees that I see around me.  I think a lot of people are like that.  This post is full of flora that I don't have here in New England.  I'm excited to add some new shapes to my drawing repertoire.  

How about you?  What interests you about these images?

Thanks for stopping by!
