| Begin September 15th |
On the 15th Kazuya and I went to Showa Kinen Park. We didn't expect to be taking many pictures, but between the two of us we took about 200! Shocking! The first shot here is a Lotus Flower seed head. The 2nd shot is a Water Lily and the 3rd shot is another Lotus Flower seed head. The 12x Optical zoom with that new camera is amazing - this shot was taken from about 8 feet (2+ meters) away. You can find a PDF file of this image HERE (2.17 MB).

The first shot here is still in the Bonsai Garden. The 2nd shot is a Habenaria radiata - an orchid. The 3rd shot - my new camera allows me to select a color and then it records all other colors as black & white. In this shot I chose Blue as the color I wanted.
