Arboretum Flowers

We got a little break from the clouds so we went down to the Arboretum this afternoon. It turned out to be a nice day there but it sure didn't look like it for a while.

I like all the vibrant colors, great collection. Its nice to see you have a family member who shares the interest!

Nice Mike, I really enjoyed 1,4, and 5. Looks like a good day.

Thanks Everyone. It was a fun day. The kids love the Arboretum. They don't even mind when I take my time and take a lot of photos. My son and daughter both love taking photos. It's a fun family time.

Mike,

These are all very nice! I've been enjoying your macro work. You're tempting me to go out and pick up the Canon 180mm L. I've been trying to save for a BIG telephoto, but with the daunting cost and seeing your work (along with some from others) macro is looking very tempting.

Thanks MM and mcary. mcary, that's a very nice compliment. I've really been enjoying shooting macro stuff. It's really nice because aren't a lot of scenic areas around me and I don't always have the opportunity to shoot wildlife so this gives me a way to shoot more and it didn't cost me a ton of cash to get into. You should look into the 105mm macro, it would save you about a grand and it wouldn't put back your savings too much for your big boy lens. I know that what Steve shoots and he seems very happy with it. I'm shooting the Sigma version.

Thanks again

They're all gorgeous but I love the third especially

They're all great, but I like both the tulip shots best, Mike. Neat work!
