A few shots from the Meijer Botanical Garden

I was heading yesterday to Indiana for a macro presentation at the Calumet Photo Clubs Annual Photo Clinic, and decided I would detour a little and stop in at the Meijer Botanical Gardens.

I’ve been here before and have some nice images, and this time I’m looking for subjects with patterns, lines, textures, and cool lighting. I just processed a few on my laptop, so not the best to process on. All processed with Nik Software.
