UCLA Botanical Gardens

This photo was taken on my digital camera at the UCLA botanical gardens near campus in Westwood. It’s a really great location to visit to destress and relax in nature. I love the idea that in the middle of a busy city center, there is an area with native plants from around California, wildlife like birds and turtles, and many flowers and trees imported from abroad. I noticed my photo captured a sunbeam and decided to highlight that feature during my editing process by increasing the saturation of the colors I found and letting the rainbow from the sun be more visible.
