Since I’ve been doing projects with the Nosco Project, I’ve had the opportunity to plan new outings to go on and shoot. The upcoming theme is “Garden” and so I decided it would be prudent to begin searching San Diego for appropriate garden. Google alerted to me to the existence of the San Diego Botanic Garden, located a few miles North in Encinitas. I knew this would be an exciting opportunity to try out my new lens, the 60mm Canon USM macro lens. A very fine piece of work, this lens would be getting its trial run in the gardens. The first photograph is the first thing the 60mm ever saw. Enjoy! Be sure to go to the Nosco Project to see my photograph for the Garden theme!

Today’s post sees me with a lot of catching up to do. We have here images from my trip to LA to watch the China Missions team head out, 4th of July celebration, and trip to San Francisco. Be sure to check out my flickr site for the new sets posted. Now without further ado, a sample from the images taken.
