Calendula

Taken in my garden this evening.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

You are blending two worlds: Nature, through the nursing of plants in your garden; technology, through photographing flowers. I guess that will give you a sense of well-being.

WOW! My first thought was how beautifully ORANGE this is...and I remembered the orange popsicles that I used to slurp on as a child. Funny how things can bring back memories.
This is a BEAUTIFUL shot!!

Thanks for sharing the time of day -- I saw in the flower the setting sun. But, my mind (stomach?) also followed that of Observing from Local -- please pass the chocolates! Both reactions are evoked by your ability to capture the richness of the bloom.
