Thanks Bald Eagle as the flower beds and yard are a constant upkeep it seems ...

Very nice shot there bluedog, lovely flowers! Hows that Tamy treating you?

A flower I came across when visiting an old childhood park. XT Sigma 70-300mm
APO 214mm F5.0 handheld at 1/250s ISO 1600

[aparmley]

The old scruffy guys little brother same set up, F9.0 1/640s ISO 800 300mm

[Bluedog]

aparmley ... thats a Coneflower and pretty good at ISO 1600. Look back to page 51 of this thread as I took a few of the same in Vegas outside Caesars Palace. And yes the Tamron is a keeper as probably the Sigma 18-125 also for now.

this is what i got when i was testing the super macro mode of my c750uz, very shallow DOF!

[aparmley]

Ah yes I see blue... very good. Great, good to hear it about those lenses... I am in the market now for my walk around... I will be keeping it under 100mm so I was looking at both the Tamy and the sigma EX 28-70... can't decide..

It was a very good dandelion year:
Canon A75

Because this was taken in the Netherlands, it of course has a wind mill as well.

Great photos folks. Here is a blue passion flower - perhaps it should be in the abstract thread? Sadly it seems to have lost some definition on compression but you get the idea.
