 Photographer’s Notes
Since the WPL, which burned me out a bit, I have been trying to get back into my DPC groove. I recently had my dirty, dusty, bolder encrusted sensor on my D3 cleaned and it’s been as though scales have fallen from my eyes. I feel like I’m getting my groove back. You be the judge.

So for your viewing pleasure, here is a photo of a budding flower, from a garden, from my wife’s garden club’s ‘tour of gardens.’ It was shot in the evening in deep shade. I love this image. If you don’t see it my way, please go pound sand.

Thanks ... I'll wear it proudly on my profile page.
