Tanya and I took a weekend trip to one of our favorite “local” attractions, the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. It was a beautiful but slightly windy day, but wasn’t yet sweltering this year.
I got to try out my Canon RF 100/2.8 L macro lens on some flowers and ducks, so I think it was worth the drive.

This mallard at the Japanese garden was much too concerned with fighting off another mallard from his lady to care about me. I was able to get quite close (without stepping off the path!) and got this shot. I intentionally chose the shutter speed to split the difference between perfectly mirrored water and blurred. I’m very happy with it.

Monarchs are always beautiful, but getting one to stay still in a pleasing pose is a challenge. I got lucky.

I just think poppy pods look neat.
