Description
We had a lovely trip to Saint Andrews in N6ew Brunswick, Canada, which is home to the magnificent Kingsbrae Garden. We went on two different days - one sunny and hot, and the other drizzly and cool. Of course the best images came from the raindrops gracing the flowers and foliage. The lilacs were in bloom even in late June, since it was a very late spring in Canada, as well as here in New England. What a treat to see these lovely Korean lilac buds covered with glorious droplets. A couple of filters and several textures from Jai Johnson complete the magical effect.
