EDIT:
Thanks to everyone for contributing in this thread with wonderful flowers.
Spring has just arrived and in the Northern Hemisphere, flowers are blooming everywhere.
What better way to describe our world than through its flowers?
What better time to start a new thread than on the first day of spring?
Local Guides Garden - Year 4 - Describe your World [through the flowers] is here, waiting for new flowers and for new stories.
Here on Connect, we often see beautiful flower photos taken by Local Guides from all parts of the world.
In Connect we like to keep all the photos together, in a place that we call “The Local Guides Garden”.
The Garden was created in January 2017 (yes, three and a half years ago) and, after all this time, I still like to go there and look at the beautiful flowers shared by the Local Guides of this amazing Community. As the previous thread is becoming very long, we will close it, to restart this new one.
Also in this edition the post is still dedicated to a friend. In this edition on the Cover there is @AngelaViale . Angela is a Local Guide from Northern Italy and, like me, loves to photograph flowers.
On June 2018 we spent three days together, with other Local guides, on Pintura. Taking photos of flowers was one of our preferred activity.
Through Local Guides Connect we are learning every day a bit more of the world around us. We can Travel virtually with all of you, watching your Photos, smelling the Food of the World, reading your Stories and, of course, watching your flowers.
We had Meet-ups about Flowers, well organised by @manulele81 in the amazing Piana di Castelluccio di Norcia
You are welcome to share your flowers on this post, the community will love them, but please, do not simply drop a photo. You can help us to learn more, giving us some information about the flower you are sharing, and the place where you took your photo.
If you don’t have experience about adding photos, you may find Uploading a photo on Connect? Read these guidelines first very helpful.
On August 2019 I visited the Giardino Botanico Alpino , a Botanical Garden in the middle of the Alps. Flowers are of course part of the visit, so why not to add them on the POI in Google Maps? I took the photo with two devices:
- Mobile phone - Pixel 3XL
- Camera: SONY DSC-HX400V
Don’t forget: if you’re sharing a photo of a flower at at a particular place, you can upload it to Google Maps.
