Albuquerque, New Mexico Photos: Canadian Geese, Rio Grande Nature Center
This Albuquerque, New Mexico photo shows Canadian Geese at the Rio Grande Nature Center. This quiet preserve on Candelaria Road near Old Town, is a wonderful setting for observing migrating birds during the winter. It is quite popular with bird-watchers and is also a great place for an afternoon hike along Albuquerque’s Rio Grande.
I spent many pleasant afternoons in the Rio Grande Botanic Garden in Albuquerque photographing flowers and plants. There is something calming and restorative about being in a beautiful garden, and the Rio Grande Botanic Garden is as beautiful as they come in Albuquerque, New Mexico! This collection of photos, captured on film, are from a year’s worth of captures during my stay in Albuquerque. Hope you enjoy them. If you are ever Albuquerque, be sure to stop by the Rio Grande Botanic Garden! Filed under Flower Photos, Albuquerque Photos.

Photo: Yellow Daisies at the Rio Grande Botanic Garden
This is a close-up of yellow daisies seen in the Rio Grande Botanic Garden in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It reflects one of my favorite techniques in flower photography: Using the colors of adjacent flowers to create blurred colors (bokeh) in the background. The blurred pink colors in the background are others flowers intentionally out of focus (by using a large aperture) to create a pleasing background for the foreground flowers.
Camera: Nikon D40, Nikon 55-200mm VR lens, Nikon 3T Close-Up Diopter.
