Flower Show Report

It was one of my days off as a tour guide (they want me in tomorrow instead of today). So naturally I got up at 5:30 and was out the door at 6:25 to go take pictures. I wore jeans so I could sit on the floor if I wanted a low angle for something. Almost 600 pictures, oh my. But a lot of that is because I shot multiples.

I found manual focus by accident, used it a couple of times.

Today's Flower Show excitement: the free-flight birds are getting more adventurous. Two huge multicolored parrots made a break for freedom and went swooping from exhibit to exhibit, pausing to roost in the lighting. It was pretty funny. I got one picture that's all blur and feathers.

It was much warmer today than it has been for some weeks. I am hardened off enough from our rigor with the thermostat that I went out in a simple denim jacket and biked around town.

Also for clindau -- the photos of the miniatures start here, with a couple Cactus & Succulent Society shots thrown in. There were a couple of miniatures that weren't installed when I shot these -- my shots through the glass aren't as tasty.
