I overdosed on photographing roses at the Toledo Zoo yesterday. There was so much perfection that I forgot that the sun was hot, I was sweating, my back and feet hurt from walking so long, and I was thirsty and hungry. I had obtained the runners high without the running – can’t get much sweeter than that. This beauty is so perfect I had to do very little post-processing to bring it to you.Â

A New Day: Living Life Almost Gracefully 
Gorgeous! I have not mastered how to photograph flowers on a sunny day.

Yes, whites and reds are very difficult because of the harsh shadows and getting washed out. I have better luck with other colors. This was noon – and the zoo doesn’t open until 10:00 which a problem with all gardens. Hard to get to (without getting arrested) when the light is right.

Given when my hubby wants to be out and about I am often challenged with lighting. 🙂

Thank you! The Rozen Festival is every other year in Lottum, NL. Maybe a nice vacation in 2016? There are spectacular B&B’s and although this is not quite enough to warrant a full holiday I could give you many other places to round out a trip ! My garden wilted 🙂
