I indulged myself with a short trip to the Mercer Arboretum this past Saturday. Some of the water lilies were pristine, including this one which is one of my favorite varieties. All comments welcome.>=))>

Super detail and color. F/22 was the ticket for DOF. Whatever is behind the lily in the LRC is a little jarring, but the lily is so obviously in charge it doesn't affect the IQ at all. devil
