July 9, 2006 - black-eyed Susan
Warmer today with high clouds. Much of time was great shooting light, with high overcast. I went out purposely to seek out the black-eyed Susans. I used my macro lense and learned in the process that I have better results, as a whole, using shutter priority instead of aperture priority, which is what I normally do. The 100mm macro lense is a great lense but very unforgiving. You have to get it right.

July 8, 2006 - Little blue butterfly
Weather is clear and bright. Also a little warm. Got started late and had to deal with harsh light. This isn't the clearest photo I've taken, but these little fellows are hard to catch.

July 7, 2006 - Yellow lilly
Weather was warm today, but not humid like it usually is. A little warmer than yesterday, though. I spotted these lillies while out scouting for flowers yesterday. I came back to them today and got this shot in the shade.

Red Rose - July 6, 2006
Today was clear and cool for July. After the rains of yesterday, it was bright and sunny, so to avoid the harsh light, I took this one early.

A yellow rose - July 5, 2006
Overcast and rainy most of the day. I dodged between storms to shoot this yellow rose. A rather ordinary day until I spotted these blooming along my walking route.
