A number of years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Longwood Gardens. They were having a dahlia show at the time and it was spectacular just like your photographs!

Do I hear the sound of guillotines being constructed?

Wow, beautiful Joe.
And JTC, congrats on this caucus site's success; my apologies for not participating more, been dropping by to read often, but life and winter work got in the way of time.
Hope you are well and casting a line once in a while, j
how have you been, the skiing season should be about over, no? Have to admit I haven't been out angling yet, but soon my friend, soon. How about you, i got a feeling this will be your year to tie into that big one. Don't make yourself so scarce, OK?
my fishing pal and me hope to get out on the fifth, avoiding the crowds of opening day. Winter wasn't as much fun as usual; my 82-year-old French skiing partner Andre left the mountain mid-season as a protest to our owner's treatment of employees, and I lost my zeal for being there. Hoping to relocate to another mountain next season, provided my health holds; not saying I'm in any critical health condition, especially knowing how much many of my friends are suffering, struggling with staying on this side, but it is a challenge we all eventually endure; especially figuring out which drugs I'm not tolerating, etc..
been dizzy and misspelling lots of words lately...
I'm also busy and behind with planning for Europe, departing May 7; and I should get my rear-end back to that today.
Again congrats!

I've ben a photographer for over 40 years. I used to have a fully equipped darkroom and did lots of printing.
When digital cameras came out I thought they were just a fad.
I used to be an opthalmic photographer and everything was film. I would spend hours developing and printing. Then digital came out and the doctors could see the diagnosis while I was still doing the test.
I still fable in print film, I like the grain in some photos.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
i had a couple of really good 35mm film cameras (actually, i still have them but almost never use them anymore) and i dreamed about working for national geographic. well, that dream didn't pan out and i stopped doing photography for quite a number of years. i played with a couple of the early digital cameras, but they really didn't approach the sort of quality that i was interested in. then my daughter came home one day with a canon digital rebel and i was pretty impressed. it had good optics and somewhere near the resolution that you might get with 100 iso film. after a couple of years the digital slr's improved considerably and i got one. i still prefer the look and resolution of film, but the convenience and relatively low expense of digital has made it a worthwhile trade-off.
I use a canon t4i which has quite acceptable resolution and its electronics allow me to shoot fairly clean shots at fairly high iso. one of these days, i'd like to upgrade to a full-frame model, but i'm going to have to save my pennies for a while to do that.

the dahlia show is the one after the tulip show...
both of them are pretty over the top and pretty amazing.
Nicely done
You deserve a day off!

i've been playing with a new macro lens, trying to get the hang of it. so far it's been a lot of fun.
What camera do you have?

one of the images is especially catching my eye's smiles
I won't tell which one though.
