Bird Of Paradise Flower

Bird Of Paradise Flower

Crop suggestion? I was thinking it might look better with a close crop - but eventually decided to keep it this way. What do you think?

Bird of Paradise [Strelitzia] are one of my favorite flowers, very elegant looking and bloom almost all year. I see a hummingbird visit it all the time to enjoy the delicious nectar the flower produces.

Zion National Park ~ Utah (Southwestern US)

Zion National Park ~ Utah (Southwestern US)

Please view in Large

Zion National Park is a beautiful National park located in Utah, close to the city of Springdale. In one visit to the Southwestern United States, you can visit Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon and all the other beautiful surrounding areas in Utah and Arizona.

I didn't get a lot of good shots as we were there only for a short time, but its definitely a must see if you are in this area.

Bathing in the golden light

Bathing in the golden light

We were driving by a farm along San Luis Obispo along California's Central coast, when we spotted this gorgeous sheep. She seemed to be enjoying lazing in the golden morning sun and grazing away to glory!

I love taking animal photos with the SAL70300G. Its so sharp and has very less artifacts even at 300mm. Its one of my favorite lenses for animal photography.
