In the Pink

Description

Being "in the pink" is a condition that's quite appealing right now, when we're literally in the white! As I look out my window, I see a blanket of snow, with more coming down to the tune of another half-dozen inches by the end of the day. In fact, we're getting the best of it; folks around us could see a foot or more. So, I'll take refuge in this colorful rose from the summer gardens at Mill Creek Park! Stay warm and safe, everyone!

Annette Carr April 11, 2011

Intoxicating. Simply beautiful. Can you reveal the lens, appeture, and iso? I have yet to get a rose so perfect as this. #9345740

Monnie Ryan April 11, 2011

Thanks, Annette! The metadata isn't on this one so I can't tell you for sure unless I can dig up the original - it's in the archives somewhere. The best I can do for now is say it was taken with my Canon EF 100 f/2.8 macro lens (which I love). #9345808
