A day or two after visiting
Tulip Top (with only the little camera that lives in my handbag), I went to
Floriade with family and friends, with the big camera this time, and I found I wasn't at all inspired to take any more flower photos. There were so many people crowded everywhere, it was hard to appreciate any of it, and I felt I had seen it all before.

So being the contrary type I am, the following weekend I decided to brave the crowds again, and challenge myself to get some interesting photos.

I didn't have any particular ideas or theme in mind. I just wanted to avoid the obvious. I'm not sure pictures of people taking pictures at a major tourist attraction is really that far removed from the obvious.

That, in the foreground, is parsley.
