As I noted yesterday I stopped at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in Washington DC
today enroute to the Smithsonian. It was a superb day of shooting, my first lotus blooms,
I got a great series on a new heron for me, (Yellow Crowned Night Heron) and some
excellent shots of some superb orchids. But I'm beat so I'm doing something I
VERY infrequently do..post a shot (my first of the day OBTW) literally straight
from the camera, there are no masks, layers, anything other than resize,
sharpen for new size, small border and post, hope you like it,

There are several more great shots from today coming but only after a night or two of sleep ;0)
