I took this photo of a Drangonfly at a party outdoors.  I wanted to get a really closeup shot, but figured it would fly off as soon as I got near it. For some reason, it stuck around at the party all morning.  The white thingy, that it is sitting on, is some ribbon that the balloons were tied to.

 This is a sunflower we had growing in our backyard garden.  I went out early one Sunday morning and took this shot. The great thing about taking morning shots is the sun.  You get that classic golden light that makes everything look wonderful. Notice the dew on the leaves.

 This is a Desert Rose bloom.  We had purchased the plant just a short time before I took this photo. The colors don't even look real to me!  This was a hard shot because of a depth of field problem.  Parts of it are just not in focus like I would like.  I don't seem to be smart enough to know how to change the aperture(?) to get a better depth of field.

 Another morning shot.  I just love the glow that everything is given from the rising sun.  Also, since the sun kicks up dust during the day I find that morning shots are much more clear. This location is the main gate to St. Augustine, Florida.  I stitched together 2 images to create this photo.

 Not much to say about this one, morning light, gotta love it.  Location: a cemetery in St. Augustine, Florida.
