In early winter, the metasequoia forest by the cherry blossom lake is like a natural painting. Bathed in sunlight, the trees are as red as fire, passionate and profound. The metasequoia here are unique, rooted in water, tall and resilient, creating a spectacular scene of "trees in water, trees living by water." From a distance, the neatly arranged metasequoia trees cast ink-like reflections on the water. As the breeze blows, ripples spread across the lake, and the reflections of the metasequoia sway gracefully, adding a touch of liveliness. A wooden walkway winds along the lake, weaving through the metasequoia forest. The tall metasequoia trees reach for the sky, with lush branches and vibrant colors. Sunlight filters through the canopy, forming golden beams that illuminate the paths in the forest. Standing here, looking up at the sky, it feels as if you can touch the azure blue. Walking among the trees is like embarking on a conversation with ancient times.

The cherry blossoms at the Changsha Botanical Garden in Hunan Province have bloomed~🌸 On the first rest day of March, I went to the botanical garden and found that the cherry blossoms had bloomed, but there were only a few trees. It is expected that the temperature will rise in the middle of the month and more will bloom, and that will be the most beautiful time to go see them! The botanical garden will then be a sea of cherry blossoms! (◇~◇) Just wait a bit longer! Photos 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11 were taken this year, the rest are from last year.

🌸✨ Vast fields of tulips have bloomed exuberantly, and the colors of spring are finally no longer monochromatic, captured in the colorful sea of tulips. 🎨✨ Make a date with spring, encounter the colorful tulips, sit in the flower field, watch clusters of flowers swaying in the wind, the bright colors intoxicating the heart, the warm spring breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers makes one utterly enchanted, the wafts of floral scent have already awakened that flutter of excitement for spring in the depths of the heart. 🌸✨ Spring should indeed be colorful, like an overturned palette; find a vacant spot in the fields, gaze at the beautiful scenery before you, thoughts already racing through the sea of flowers, the paintbrush in hand freely sketching out my beautiful imagination of spring. 🎨✨ The tulips in the botanical garden, under the sunshine, adorn the earth with a riot of colors, as far as the eye can see, it's like a dreamy illusion, that feeling of briefly merging with nature in the sea of flowers is quite wonderful~ Tips: 📍✨ Location: Hunan Provincial Botanical Garden, advance reservation required 📍✨ Tulip blooming period: Mid-March to early April, the above photos were taken on 3.21 📷✨ Photography tips: 1️⃣ The only way to capture images with fewer tourists is to come in around 7 am, take pictures quickly before the tourists arrive, by around 9 am, there are more visitors in the botanical garden than flowers. 2️⃣ Avoid strong light, the midday light is too strong, the pictures taken are too bright, for these kinds of flowers and plants, an overly bright picture is not very attractive 3️⃣ Use a large aperture. The bokeh effect of a large aperture can blur the background, making the flower subject stand out more. 4️⃣ Utilize the sense of depth of the foreground and background. Use the flowers in the foreground or features in the background, don't just capture a single flower in the frame, creating some rich layers and a sense of space will be more beautiful.
