[Daily Photo] Beautiful Peonies in Peony Garden / 牡丹花園內的花海

Today I went to the University of Michigan Peony Garden (in Ann Arbor, Michigan). The Peonies are in full bloom now. It was really hard to do HDR photography on this windy day because the flower just would't stand still long enough. I tried my best to process this photo from one single shot.

此照片拍攝於密西根大學的牡丹花園。

[Daily Photo] Small houses for Fairies and Trolls / 小精靈和地精的小屋

This place is Fairy Woods & Troll Hollow in Nichols Arboretum (in Ann Arbor, Michigan) where Fairies and Trolls roam in this forest. People built these small houses at the bottom of tree trunks for them. See if you can find any Fairies or Trolls in this photo.

密西根大學的植物園內有一處名為妖精森林的地方。在這裡人們在樹幹根部用樹枝搭建起一間間的小屋，希望給守護森林的精靈們一個溫暖的家。

[Daily Photo] A cute horse lying on the ground / 可愛的馬

This photo of a beautiful horse lying on the ground was taken at Domino's Petting Farm in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The horse was going to stand up so it stretched its forelegs to the front. Its hair style was so cute.

我在達美樂農場遇見這一匹駿馬，他的髮型好像櫻桃小丸子裡的花輪。他正伸直了前腳，準備站起身來。

[Daily Photo] Enid A. Haupt Garden behind the Smithsonian Castle / 史密森尼城堡的後花園

I was visiting the Smithsonian Castle in Washington DC. There is a beautiful garden behind the Castle. Note that using a tripod to take photos is prohibited in this place. On the left side of this photo you can find the Washington Monument behind a tree.

[Daily Photo] Rhododendron along the trail / 小徑旁的杜鵑花

This photo was taken at the Peony Garden in Nichols Arboretum (in Ann Arbor, Michigan). The peonies were not yet in full bloom when I visited the Peony Garden; however, various colors of Rhododendron (Boule de Neige) were blooming along the trail located at the edge of the Peony Garden.

我到密西根大學的牡丹花園，想拍盛開中的牡丹花。沒想到牡丹花全都含苞待放，倒是一旁小徑上五顏六色的杜鵑花已然綻放了。這種杜鵑花跟我們台灣的杜鵑花長的不太一樣，連在台大看了十年杜鵑花的我都沒認出來。
