Very sorry to hear that Hilary
I can't imagine losing a whole season of blooms.
@shive1 - I almost posted pics from today on June's thread. The year is flying! I took your advice and used my 75-300 lens, but I also had to use my tripod, because I am so unsteady with the heavier lens. I only used one leg of the tripod so I could get into better spots without damaging daylilies. There were some that I just could not get enough space between me and the bloom to get a good dof, but am having so much fun experimenting with the lens and what it can do.
Here are some from today after a short sprinkle and before the deluge that came later:
Corolla Light and Emperor's Dragon (I love the way ED's face really looks like a dragon!!)
Flight of the Raven and Forever in Time
Lillian's Shadow Dancer (Thank you, Fred!
@spunky1. This is gorgeous!)
Kachina Firecracker and Majestic Beauty
Wizard's Heir and Peach Magnolia
Salieri and Texas Blue Eyes
NOID that I got from my Aunt Alice's place after she passed away. I will treasure it always.
