Take a Word Challenge - Botanical

I am very happy and proud to provide the example picture this week, thank you for this chance!

With a theme as botanical you can go in so many directions but I decided for a traditional vintage picture.
The background is a vintage postcard of the Botanical Garden in New York. I have altered it a wee bit and I have added several things and toyed around with blending and other things. The result is the picture below.

On a personal note, due to some minor health issues I haven't been able to participate in any challenges and/or visit all your blogs like I normally do. I will be back again as soon as I can. Hugs & enjoy!



Make sure you visit http://takeaword.blogspot.com/ and check out the work of all the others!

  4. Hoi Sadie
    Mijn man en ik waren vorig in Appeltern in Gelderland . Heb je daar ooit van gehoord ?
    Daar stond ook zo'n soort gebouw vol met botanische en uitheemse planten. Zo geweldig en prachtige tuinen !!
    Ik moest daar meteen aan denken toen ik jouw plaatje zag !
    Het roept ook zo'n gezellig en nostaligisch sfeertje op. Goed gedaan hoor !!!
