Theme Thursday: Flowering

Funny story. I went to the botanical gardens today in blistering heat dargging along both my cameras (My P&S specifically because it takes WAY more awesome macros than my DSLR thanks to my distinct lack of a macro lens) specifically to get some good flowering photos but nothing seemed to be flowering! Lots of green but not much by way of other colors. Except the roses.

I really really dislike roses. A lot. They are so cliche. I am just not a fan. I didn’t want them in my wedding, I don’t want them for Valentine’s Day, I don’t buy them for my home. So of course the roses are what I had to work with.

Later we went to another park that had MUCH better color but I didn’t realize there were gardens at all on the grounds so I didn’t bring in my great macro-shooter. All I had to work with was my DSLR.

So the top two pictures are from the DSLR and the bottom, well, roses are from the Point ‘n Shoot.
