My neighbor provides me beautiful roses to photograph.  This is a group of tiny peach colored rosed that I placed in a small vase.  Post editing done in Photoshop.  I like the darkened background and lighting focus on the blooms.

Another image from The Lotus Festival.   My favorite thing about this image is how the buds stand out against the blurred background.  I shot all the lotus images with my Nikon 70-200 VR lens and camera mounted on a monopod. 

This is the same bloom as last post but from a different angle and less harsh lighting.    

Yesterday I attended The Lotus Festival at the Buu Mon Buddist Temple in Port Arthur, Tx.  I spend about an hour and half shooting the lotus and water lily blossums in the gardens surrounding the temple.   This was one capture……

This from my trip to Watercolor, Florida in mid-May.    A very peaceful time to be on the beach.  Just me with my tripod and a few early morning walkers.  I love the yellow hues radiating through the image.  The sun is just over the horizen to my left.

This coneflower was from my trip to Mercer Gardens in Spring, Texas, as few weeks ago.  It was shot with my Lensbabie Composer and edited in PhotoShop PS4. 

What an amazing sky!   I made it to Prien Lake Park with just enough time to snap a few shots before this light began to fade.  I only had one lens and no tripod but I made the best with what I had!
