Default One Lens Challenge in the Urban Jungle

I remember reading about a One Lens Challenge somewhere, So Yesterday I took a 7 Km walk down town and back and along the river; Took a 190 shots, Kept 20 or so; The lens of choice was my Canon 25-105mm f/4.0 L, IS, USM.
Here is the 1st installment in my Challenge.

Here in the Urban Jungle beauty is everywhere. Where? Here in the Urban Jungle; everywhere is Beauty; If you look closely.

Thanks for Looking
Chewys Dad

What a great challenge and a very capable lens. I agree with you Chewys Dad, there is beauty to be found everywhere, although I prefer your flowers to the bugs

How long does the challenge take to complete ?
cheers beach

Thanks Beach! This is just a Personal Challenge, Just a one day walk about with the lens; That yielded Several pretty nice shot; I think. Sorry though, theres more bugs coming.
