Beauty still in bloom. by orangecrush

Beauty still in bloom.

We went to the San Diego Zoo today. I love the zoo! The girls had a blast! We have season passes so it makes a great get-a-way even if we just have an hour to kill! I took my camera (of course) with just the macro. I'm lovin' this one lens thing! Normally I would have my bag and fumble over what lens to grab. I was forced to see the zoo in a different way...it was amazing! The zoo not only has a great selection of animals but an amazing collection of plants, too!
This is the final shot with my macro lens. If you have been following, I'm on a personal challenge to use a lens a week no excuses. So, I'm moving to the last lens in my kit...I have a Lensbaby Compressor. Just like my wide angle, this thing spends a lot of time in its little compartment. This should be interesting...
Bloody freakin' hell. This is FAB, Jerry ! ! !
Perfect color, comp, tone, mood, etc. Yeah, that's a super fave!
