We made our trek to Monterey yesterday and it turned out to be a wonderful day. I have so many shots of so many things to go thru, so I decided to start with the flowers, they were so vivid and so pretty. I don't even know what they are called. These first ones are like the thinnest tissue paper, and of course the wind was blowing like crazy, but I was able to capture these.

Here is another shot of these, they were so delicate and pretty.

I have no idea of what these are called, but the colors are just stunning . I hope I did it justice here.

And lastly these were in a vase at our table, I believe they are tiger lillies but feel free to correct me.

Thank you for looking at these, hope you enjoyed them.

Wow Debbie, these are really beautiful captures, which of your lenses did you use to get these?

I could be wrong, but those first two look a lot like poppies...although I've never seen them white around here.

Thank you, I actually used the 28-135, I've found that pretty handy lately.

Hi Angella, thank you, they are so delicate, the petals just fold up in the wind. I'm
glad I got anything at all that wasn't blurry.

Oh, I do know what you mean, and you could be right ! I've never seen them in
white before either.

Very nice shots ma'am. Monterey brings back lots of memories...My uncle is chief of surgery there at Monterey Community Hospital. I honeymooned there at Pebble Beach exactly 22 years ago and enjoyed a sumptuous Pina Colada at the Hog's Breath Inn in Carmel. I would love to go back armed with a camera!

I am so sad I did not get to go with you guys, but we will have our day (soon I hope)!
These are fantastic flower shots. I love the delicate look of the first two and the Lilly's but I am really drawn to the third one. Maybe because purple is my fav color but you did a spot on job with the focus and clarity to capture such vivid detail in all four of them. Really beautiful job Mom!
