Rod and David's favorite Park
That would be Whispering Pines. I visited this place the first week of June for the first time. I have made 2 trips back since. Thanks to Rod and David for continuing to post photos from there. Your posts have kept me informed as to the wildflower conditions, which are still great.
I took these Yesterday morning. It was the first time I have been able to shoot Mariposa Lillies, and Spiderwort. It would be well worth your time if you can drop by there this week.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

All good, but #2 is a definite standout!

#2 is really impressive! But a great collection overall!

These are totally awesome!!! This is a really beautiful series. You've definitely thrown down the gauntlet for pushing us all to excellence. The lighting, the detail, the backgrounds, are all exquisite...really spot-on.

Thanks for sharing,
Dave

For me it's definately #1 with the Lady Bug as the punctuation Point in the image! All are wonderful each a standout in their own way! Well Done! :toast:

+1 for #2. Nice, clean close-up work. What are the "other" flowers named?
Posted by Morris McClung on July 6, 2009 at 2:55 PM
Thanks everyone for your comments.
Dave, I'm not sure on #1, I haven't been able to locate it yet. Maybe someone else knows.
#2 is a bloom on a Prickly Pear cactus, I think. #3 is a Mariposa Lilly, and #4 is Western Spiderwort.

Morris, I want to second Dave's response. That is a beautiful series. We need to get back out there.

Great shots Morris....I am leaning on number 1 and 4 as my favs. I really like the comp and color in both of those images and your choices for DOF
