March Macros :: VT Flower Show

Shots from the 2011 Vermont Flower Show. This was hard -- very low light and none of it natural, no flash allowed, too many people around for me to lug in a tripod, and my camera battery died after the first 20 shots.

Not ideal for the macro lens. Or me for that matter, but really I was there for the lectures. Honest, since I need 5 educational hours a year to keep my Master Gardener certification. Believe me, even low lit blurry flowers beats the peat moss off of fluorescent ceiling lights and power point presentations...

I did bring home the kid a tiny african violet for her very own. Photos of that are sure to follow. She is pleased to bits with it and can not wait to put it into a fancy bowl with sparkly stones. Gilding the lily, always, with this one...


March Macros: I've got the macro lens on this month, capturing moments in our daily life.
