Thanks Betchai, I like capturing the essence as much as I can.

Rajesh, thanks for commenting.

Mami, glad you like it :)

Squirrel, thanks so much.

Kim, thanks and have a wonderful weekend as well.

Maia, I love them, they are just gorgeous. The lighting in that shot was not too great but there are several blooming in the gardens right now so I will try and get some better shots this coming week. Thank you.

Blue, aw, what a wonderful compliment, thank you

As always, exquisite work, Jo! The Blue Himalayan Poppy is my favorite. Perhaps I might even get to the Himalayas to see it. Or to Kathmandu where one of my Royal Caribbean beverage managers is from.

So glad you suggested enlarging these macros! They are even better that way! I can't decide whether my favourite is the first one, or the last one. I will have to take another look...

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
