Got to spend a bit of time at the Kater Street Garden this past Friday. Lots of new varieties. I hope to get back soon and spend some more time there.
Bob has a small water lily pond in the midst of the garden. On Friday, there was the yellow and a white one. The white one was really hidden. The yellow was more cooperative and closer to the fence enabling me to shoot with the 105mm. It would have been too close to shoot with the 70-300 so it worked out well.
