What a place to gather you thoughts!

I took advantage of another beautiful day and ventured to the local botanical garden. Is there a better way to spend a warm, quiet day than wondering around a giant garden? Today there was not. I had a great time in the stillness of the place. As always click each photo to enlarge it!








My favorite! It maybe top five of all the pictures I have taken.

(Just so you know I made this out of focus on purpose to focus on the yellow middle.)


As you can tell most of the photos are extreme close-ups. I attached my 10x macro lens to my 18-55 mm lens. It was pretty awesome how much detail I could capture. I look forward to experimenting more with my lenses.
