This gorgeous yellow dahlia is called La Luna. It's what is called a dinnerplate variety…
Eye Candy Friday
In an effort to learn more about my new camera, we made a trip to Plymouth last weekend. I took a lot of photos but this one, with my new telephoto lens, is probably my favorite.
Have a wonderful first weekend of 2008!

That is a lovely photo, Carole! Beautiful lighting!
Great shot! What telephoto lens did you get?
It’s beautiful, I love it! Have a good weekend!
It’s a beautiful picture! Have a great weekend and have fun with that great new camera!!
That’s a beautiful photo. Have a great weekend!
I love it! I too want camera/lens specs.
Gorgeous…that’s the beauty of a telephoto! That fuzzy background! It works well for portraits, too.
What a great shot! Brings back memories of skating through the swamp – err, wetlands.
Ahhh… love that photo! I just plain love cattails. Like Chris said, it really brings back memories of skating at the pond when I was a kid. Oh the things we did with cattail fuzz. ha I made fairy pillows stuffed with cattail fuzz but for some reason I never found one sleeping on my night table. Hm.
Have a great weekend Carole!! XOXOX
Great shot! Where will your camera take you this weekend?
Love the photo, slapped a huge smile on my face, I love cattails… it’s where you’ll find one of my all time favourite birds… redwinged blackbird!
Thank you!
I can see you are having fun and mastering it.
You have always taken nice photos, now your camera will make your visions great! I so look forward to your Friday posts.
Nice picture. Have a great weekend.
Looks like your camera goes to nice places too. Maybe mine will take me out this weekend!
Great shot, send me the lens info too. Please. 🙂
Well done pic. I, too, love cat tails, be they animal or vegetable! VBG!
Happy weekend, knit on!
Your photo looks great! And what a nice place to go for a photo shoot.
Ooh, a telephoto? we have one, but that thing is so big that I rarely use it. I feel like a paparazzi with it! 🙂 Lovely photo, Carole, and I look forward to many more! great bokeh 😉
Plymouth! Didja know I worked there for a summer? It was fun – one of my favorite visiting spots. 🙂
Pretty!
Excellent photo. I love my 10x zoom.
Beautiful!
I can see why that might be a favorite – gorgeous. Have a great weekend.
Pretty. Never seen them covered in ice before. /CA girl
The file name made me think of something else entirely. I’ll be in the naughty corner if you need me.
Happy Weekend!
The telephoto lens are so much fun to play with!!! Just think about being able to snap photos of Mason without him knowing it….
Pretty! Doesn’t Seedstitch Cheryl have a story about those? She cut some and brought them in only to be infested by bugs…or something like that?
great photo! looks like you’re getting the hang of it. 🙂 which telephoto did you get?
What a stunning photo! Hope you have a splendid weekend!
Wow, that’s pretty! I should get lenses and learn more about my camera, but instead I’ve lost my charger. Seems like a fair trade, doesn’t it? My logic, I know, makes me sound like I’ve been imbibing again, but I haven’t. 🙂
I had to order a new charger today. I’ve given up looking for it. I’m sure the minute the new one arrives, the old one will turn up. Meanwhile, I’m back to using my old camera.
Exactly! Now that’s what I had in mind!
I love this photo. Reminds me of one I took not too long ago.
Look at you go!
beautiful cat tails.
what a fabulous new camera you have – and good job taking great photos too!
Beautiful photo! :o)
Fun with depth of field!
