All my buddies went diving. I had to stay home to work and only got to
take pictures of flowers.

At least a beautiful rose from Michelle's garden.

100 macro with +3 diopter, Canon 5D MKII f/11 at 1/160 ISO 100 with
a Canon ring light -1 stop.

You were just handed your diploma after 4 years of hard work!
You are walking back to your seat with family and friends
watching you. What is in your head?

This expression might be a combination of joy, sorrow
and apprehension about the future.

Iris is a genus of between 200–300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers.
This is one of several different colors, but the same genus I found at the B&B where we stayed for Nicole' Graduation.
A few rain drops with a nicely placed old white picket fence accented the flower.
I need to learn to sleep between 5:30 and 7:30 am.

Great discovery yesterday! My 1st cus, who I have not seen in many years is a Photo Shop artist.
He coverts his photography (and others) into this up and coming art form.
He took my Iris photo and created a very nice picture.
I like it better then my picture.

Great new discovery on Memorial Day.
Thanks Ron.
We should do more of these!
