    People around town are so use to me wondering around with a camera that no body pays any attention when they look out the window and see me down on my hands and knees in the their yard.

    I use the Nikkor 105mm f2.8 AF none VR version. It's and older model but very serviceable.

    Thanks Scott. That little daisy caught my eye because of the stray petal and I tried to work it from an angle that would accentuate it.
