Was busy at my computer at the museum, when the darn fire alarm went off! Mandatory evacuation! Have never yet seen a great photo opt come
from one of these fire alarms! No flames! No nothing! Annoyed that I was being interrupted, I grabbed my photo bag, figuring instead of standing
around staring at the masses outside, I could walk up the way to my favorite gardens and get my PAD photo! Ran into my coworker and
fellow PaDer, Ron Lutz, and the two of us went up and photographed during yet another meaningless fire alarm! ;-)
Not a sunny day, but the flowers are still blooming!


Black and White Version

Mindy, I like this shot but the B&W version is true art.

A beautiful image but the black and white one is no slouch either. Still, I'll take color any day.

Look at the sharpness and detail on this flower! Awesome.

Think I like this one a little better, the soft pinks/yellows are a welcome sight.
A 'ready' bag by your desk :)

I agree, I much love the color version. Wonderful detail and the color brings it out more.

I saw the b&w version first (due to the new favorites setup) and I have to say that one is more appealing!
