Because my sister is sick of the bird photo
I was going to look around for a story to post instead of more photos, but I'm dashing out the door and these were at hand. The allium, that large purple ball, popped up in my garden out of nowhere. Any ideas how that got in there? The others are forget-me-not, lily-of-the-valley, and a dogwood branch at my front door.

Spectacular composition, especially on the second and last photos!
my faves are #2 and 3... but all are super!
Gorgeous Pamela, I actually took some glorious flower piccies myself today and they will post overnight - great minds :-)
I hope you keep this up, Pamela. Your photos are wonderful -- and I loved the bird picture.

You guys are so nice. You know you're just encouraging me to post more of them, right? Ah, it's a sickness....
Yes!!! Post more. These are just gorgeous!
What lens are you using?
Wonderful!!
Hey Donna!
I just got an AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens for my D200 and I love it. I'm still learning how to use my camera, let alone the two lenses I use (the other is an 18-200mm, which is a lovely all-purpose lens) and I've yet to venture off of auto, much to the annoyance of my camera club buddies. They wag their fingers at me every week and tell me to gird my loins and try new things.
Actually they tell me to read my manual....

Btw, Donna, it was you who told me to shoot portraits in northern light or in the shade and most of my flower pics are done that way. I get a lovely soft light, and if I need to give it a boost, I can do it with Picasa2 and Fill Light.

Metod, I love your critiques! Thank you so much for taking the time.
You are absolutely right in all cases. Now, I know the muguet leaves should be more in focus - I was concentrating on the water droplet. As you know (and what makes my fellow camera club enthusiasts whack their foreheads) I'm still using the Auto settings. I know there is a way to get everything in focus, but I'm not sure how.
Let's see....I think I have to switch to Aperture Priority and use a bigger value, like f/16 or f/32, to maximize my depth of field. Off to try.
