Yesterday the family and I enjoyed a relaxing and beautiful breezy afternoon at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, NYC. 

We went in the middle of the afternoon, so although the day was absolutely gorgeous, I was stuck with the harsh, blinding afternoon light that photographers are less than enthusiastic about.  So in order to take full advantage of the flower taking opportunities presented at the world renowned New York Botanical Gardens, I decided to try a few “flower in the sky” silhouette photos.

Armed with my trusty 50mm f/1.8, I got low low low and shot upwards.  My only peeve is that I wasn’t using a macro lens!  (which is on my photography wishlist!)
