   I recently attended a weekend photo editing workshop taught by Markus Pfitzner at the Mendocino Art Center in northern California. My friend Doug von Gausig kindly loaned me the use of his Canon 40-D, and these are ten of the photos that I took with that camera. The Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden is a magical place, located between Mendocino and Fort Bragg, and that's where I took most of these pictures.  Click on the thumbnail photos to enlarge and enjoy!  (Please note: All photos are Copyright 2008 Judith Kiriazis, all rights reserved.
