PART TWO OF THE PHOTO CLUB VISIT TO LINDEN GARDENS.

Pine Siskin.

A funny story goes with this photo.  I was taking reflection shots at a little pond and this lady was on the other side so I included her reflection in one shot.  When she came over to our side I invited her to look in my viewfinder at the image which I flipped right side up.  After a bit she said she didn't see anything.  When I told her to look closely, she replied that all she saw was some lady.  She was less than impressed when I mentioned that was her!

YESTERDAY, MAY 24, AILEEN AND I JOINED THE PHOTO CLUB FOR AN EXCURSION TO LINDEN GARDENS IN KALEDEN WHICH IS SOUTH OF PENTICTON. THIS IS PART ONE
