Flower

My dad got released from the hospital today!
I haven't posted a flower shot in awhile. This one reminds me of the way I used to draw and color the sun when I was little.
Canon 40D with 100mm macro lens
ISO400 F3.2 SS1/1000

YEA!! I am so glad that your dad is getting better! Love the flower--it's almost perfectly circular. It does look like a sun. It's a gallardia, also called a Mexican Blanket Flower. (in case you wanted to know)

Hope today is going well for your dad. Just getting out can be tough! I know with my sister-in-law she would then have one day bad (as in exhausted), one day good, one day bad, etc. . . . Becky, don't be afraid of RAW! Your photos are already wonderful, and you'd have fun tweaking them even more! If I can do it, there'd be no problem at all with your doing it!
