Once Again from the Calendar Gardens, using the 70-300 sigma zoom. I mentioned that I took some pictures of the sweet lady (Beth DeFries) that donated the property for this wonderful project. I delivered the pictures to her yesterday and much to my pleasant suprise the Master Gardener (Jon Catrell) was also there so I was able to sit and talk with both of these wonderful people for at least an hour. It was very interesting, and they shared some pictures of the gardens when it was first being started with the plantings. No cement laid yet just the planting. Also they gave me the copy of the orginal essay that was used to present the idea to the parks dept. I feel like I have known these wonderful people for a long time, and felt so honored that they would share all of this with me. I mentioned to them that I would love to meet them both at the gardens one of these days to take a couple of pictures of them both. They seemed to like the idea too. I hope we can pull that one off, I think it would be fitting. sandi♥

This an absolute stunner. The colors are amazing in this, and your frame adds the finishing touch. Definitely a 10. Anything less would be an insult.

Magnificent capture ... the detail & markings on the butterfly is so clear & distinct. You are lucky to have a beautiful garden so close by. Very well done Sandi.

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas
A real cracker of a shot, well taken, and the detail is stunning.....get a 10 out of 10 from me.

I faved it just so when I think I have a good photo, I can look at this and try again. Have a good week.

Fabulous shot, Sandi! Why, that's the very same critter I captured a few days ago! He found his way to you and you got a much better shot of him than I. Kudos! I love that lens of yours. lol

I don't know which is more beautiful Sandi, the flower or the butterfly LOL. The detail you've captured is perfect in this. I bet you did enjoy talking to Miss DeFries learning of the history here. I know she enjoyed talking with you also and seeing her generosity being captured and displayed for everyone here to enjoy .

This is a fantastically detailed and well-exposed shot Sandi. I have some butterflies to post myself, taken with the Sigma lens, but I can't rival this. You must have a very steady hand if you didn't use a tripod! The proboscis feeding on the flowers is just brilliant.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
It don't get any better than that. Way to go. I think the bloom is more striking than the butterfly. None the less, the two of them form the perfect image.

Well, even though I am late...surprise surprise! I had to add my name to the list of admirers. Love the shot and that you had such a good experience with these people is icing on the cake. They are hard to find, but the good ones do exist!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
It does not get much better than this, clarity is amazing,love your butterfly photos, faved.
