It was great to get out of the city and spend a day at the Benmore Botanic Garden. Found on the western side of Scotland, it was a long and picturesque drive. My favourite part of the drive was the dozens of little streams coursing down the hills through little paths that must have taken years and years for the streams to carve out.
This is the famous Redwood Avenue, apparently planted in 1863. On first glance it just looks like a bunch really big trees. If you can see the people standing in the distance and compare those specks to the trees, that will tell you just how massive they truly are! In addition to being enormous, they are also incredibly squishy - like hugging a teddy bear!
This trip also marked the unearthing of my Rebel camera. It was great to be in such a relaxed atmosphere to begin practising with the camera again. My goal is to finish the year with a basic understanding of the camera and how to manipulate it to do what I want!
