Amazonian Water Lillies....

Today ( @dide) and I had a trip up to the city to our favourite Camera shop.. I had a bit of a malfunction with my camera yesterday, was sure that I had pushed a button that was causing the trouble.. but no they could not rectify it... so a stay in Camera Hospital.. thank goodness for my #2 camera, so after a little dust off we went to The Auckland Winter Gardens... never fails to please.. This lovely water lilly was in the high humidity glass house.. so don't hang around there too long..

How beautiful - the detail in the water lily is amazon. No. 2 camera is doing a good job. Hope you get no. 1 back soon though!

A very cool image taken in a very warm glasshouse! Your #2 camera still seems to know how to take good images…. Another great day out.

Marvelous shot, love that leaf,fav

[Babs]

So beautiful and well done for surviving the humidity. Very hot here today with 78% humidity. Very uncomfortable.
Hope your camera gets well again soon.

This is just glorious and a fav for me. Hope you camera doesn't prove too expensive to repair!

[julia]

@judithdeacon It is still in the warranty period so hopefully they will honour that.. perhaps it is just wanting a rest after having a pretty good work out of the last few weeks.. nice to give my old camera a bit of a work out..
