Up Close and Personal at the Huntington Library in Pasadena (Part 2)

 Monday, March 21, 2011

On Saturday I posted my first series of macro shots from the Huntington Library here.  I've been going through my pictures and am ready to show a few more!

This first one is my favorite, and therefore I will me linking it up to as many challenges as I can find! :) And I've decided that the sweet nectar of the flower counts for Simplicity's "Sweet" challenge!

Part 3 will probably be a series of macro cactus shots! I have a ton of cactus shots I'm still going through! The cool thing about the botanical gardens at the Huntington Library is they have foliage from all climates. They even have an indoor tropical rain forest section, but it was so humid it kept fogging up my lens!
