Captured at the calendar garden recently.

Thank you for commenting.

My laptop is working fine, just a little clean up and replaced the mouse, it had a broken left mount. :)

Have a good day my friends, gloomy and more rain here. :(

Colossal capture of these beautiful lilies. They are standing up so straight and tall. Great photo.

The soft focus works well on these beauties, Tigz.
I knew a mouse couldn't get the best of you.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I'm pleased your laptop's working okay again Tigz we feel lost without them. Lovely aquatic bloom, & presentation, perhaps you could have bought the focus backward a tad.

When I lifted off out of Peoria last month, I looked to the east for you and the Calendar Gardens but I was seated on the wrong side of the jet and only had a brief glimpse.

I have you pictured a certain way, Tigs. To me, I think of you as being a Borg from the Star Trek series except that you have a camera implanted at the end of your mechanical arm. In the book "Bambi" the deer talked about hunters having rifles attached much like an appendage.

Your work looks so effortless that I wonder if you even have to look at the setting or can feel them as if you're reading Braille.

Just a superb shot. I thought at first that the shot lacked your usual sharp focus and some contrast on the lily but then I realized that you captured the shot just as you wanted to...with that silky look that I can never attain.

Soft focus works well with this Sandi. Even so the flower contrasts so well with the greenery.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

Mixed focus in this really sets it apart - just beautiful Sandi.

Water lilies are such magnificent flowers, so dramatic and this showcases all their beauty.
