Wow! Beautiful, love them! Excellent photos.
Thank you! The Chicago Botanic Garden has a large variety, they were doing work on the walkway otherwise I would have been able to get more photos.
Reminds me of a candle, lit and then in full flame. Wish you were here.

Amazing shots! Have I mentioned that I have a serious photography crush on you? lol

PS Do you ever take craptastic shots? I’m thinking NOT!
shared blog post — Wordless Wednesday– Puppy Love
LOL you are too sweet! I do take some bad shots, generally my issue is I occasionally over-expose if I just stay in aperture priority mode. I have to make SURE to shoot manual if I want perfection.
Beautiful shots! Thanks for sharing!
Happy Wednesday to you from Malaysia! :)
Hop on over to check out my WW at I’m a full-time mummy (Ben Listening to Song)

Beautiful photos. You have a gift. Thanks for linkin up.

Oh.. I love water lily. We have a small pond — and we just get so excited when they begin to bloom.
shared blog post — Wordless Wednesday– Bryce– Utah
I am so jealous you have a pond! I know my boyfriend would LOVE a pond in our yard but it is so expensive!
absolutely beautiful!! Amazing!!! Wow, I need to take lessons from you!

This makes me wish I had gotten a chance to see the lotus festival in LA before we moved up to SF… although I think there are some ponds in Golden Gate Park that have some…
Gorgeous! :)

Our water lilies didn’t bloom this year. It’s always exciting when they do bloom. They’re such pretty flowers.

OMG…every time I see your pictures I’m getting more tempted to get a macro lens LOL. Awesome shots as always girl!
An amazing series of shots, I felt like I was right there through the process. Very glad to have stopped by, via SITS.

Oh, I love the photos as usual, and I adore the way you’ve arranged them to look like a progression of growth. It’s inspiring. Thank you!
shared blog post — Wordless Wednesday– Nursing in public
AH yes!! I was all crazy showing Keith, “LOOK it’s as if you can watch it grow before your eyes!” because… I have issues like that lol.
Wow… these are awesome! I am a newbie photographer and have miles to go to produce something like this.
Stopping by from SITS to say hi.
Thank you so much! How long have you been shooting? What kind of gear do you have? So exciting!
I love the look and feel of your sight. And those photographs are breathtaking.
Stopping by from SITS and I’m your newest follower!
The last one, with the way the light is hitting it, did it for me. :)

Beautiful…all of them!! But the last one is my favorite :)
I have a lotus tattooed on my foot ;)
shared blog post — You Know Youre a Mom When-sDaze
Thank you! I’ve heard that a tattoo on the foot is one of the more painful places to get inked because there is so little fat, did you find that to be the case? I wish I had money to get some more ink done, but alas… will have to wait another year or so sadly.
All of them are absolutely beautiful but i especially love how you’ve made each of them unique by how you use the light.
shared blog post — Hi– I’m almost not dead
Very beautiful! I especially love the 2nd and 3rd photos. Is that the sun setting in the 3rd and 4th? The lighting is amazing.
Gorgeous! I love shots of flowers.
Thanks for linking up

Love the pictures! Stopped over from Sits. Please stop by my blog, when you get a chance. Will comeback often, better yet I will just become a follower!
I absolutely love the lighting in the last two. I think the nearest botanical gardens to where I live are at least an hour, hour and a half away but I really want to go!
How is the working distance with a 105mm lens? I’m eying a couple of lenses around that focal length / maybe a macro but can’t find a store that will let me put my hands on one. There’s only so much that online research can do for a person but I think I’m stuck with it.
Thank you! The gardens are about 30 min from us, but it’s a straight shot driving wise. It’s SO worth it to go even just once a month!
I love LOVE my 105mm. I use it as my all-around lens actually unless I want to do portraits, then I grab my 50mm.
Try seeing if you have a local photography store that RENT lenses!
Awesome. “Local” is nearly as close as the botanical gardens. Yay for living in Small Town, KY. By the time I rent a lens online it will be about 1/3 or even 1/2 the cost of just buying it. Sooo… time to think and look at my bank account :p
Wonderful photographs.
(I’m in love with your blog.) Thanks for commenting on mine earlier!
Wow! Those are absolutely stunning photographs.

Those are some truly beautiful pictures and I would never be able to take pictures that great. You are truly talented.

Gorgeous photos! You could frame those or enter them in a contest.

Thank you! I do print my photos occasionally, but I never have any frames lol.
My mother has these in her pond. They are even beautiful after the blossom expires.

I wish we had a pond! I think all types of lilies are just so graceful looking.
Great captures, I especially like the lighting on the last few.

What an adorable photo! I love the process of it growing and growing! Nice job!

I really like the design of your site. Your mom is a bee-yotch. Good for you for being where you’re at. Your doodles are cute! Keep it up.
These are some of the most beautiful lotus pictures I have seen! Lovely!!
