friday favorite : nappanee photographer

this is my pick today because:

• it's something different, i don't usually spend a lot of time photographing anything other than people & i don't have a macro lens (which is what i would use if i was purposefully going to photograph things like flowers and bugs & things like that)
• i know it's a "no-no" to photograph flowers in full sun, but we were walking through these gardens & i was taking photos of the little boy & caught this just because it was so pretty...i wasn't looking for photographic perfection...☺
• i love this texture!

*this image was shot @ f5.6, 1/400, iso 100 at 135mm with a 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 lens
