Bugle in the garden

Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008

For my final shot from our trip to the zoo, I switch from the animal to the plant kingdom. Several of these flowers were growing near the entrance to the zoological park, and on our way out, Stephanie was nice enough to let me play around with photographing them for about 10 minutes. I am a big fan of a flower with an intricate stamen. It's always a focusing challenge, especially without a tripod, as was the case with this shot.
