Taken in the butterfly plant section of a garden yesterday with my new lens - the ef 70-200 f2.8L IS USM
Didn't see any butterflies but thought this was a neat plant. Anyone know what it is????
I had 3 people offer to trade cameras with me while at the zoo, LOL!
entered into flowers
taken on an overcast day
So glad that BP is back up and running - I sure did miss you all!

A lot of the time an overcast day makes for great shots as this one is. Because it cuts the shadows out and makes for even lighting. Very well done here. Don't give the lens all the credit, you have a good eye for the right angle. #7704714A P July 05, 2009
