Pretty little pink flower. POTD 5.3.07

I'm slightly embarassed to tell you how many flower pictures I took during my time in Florida. Who knew there was a Botanical Garden 5 minutes away from my parents home all this time? I didn't take the time to write down all their names, although I really should have for there were tons of different kinds! I liked the tiny pink blooms on this one, reminded me of babies breath, just pink instead of white. If anyone knows the name, feel free to clue me in. I used the tripod on this one and you would not believe how windy it was! I played around with different shutter speeds and apertures, taking consecutive shots all at different settings. For this one I settled on a narrow aperture. there are many more to come where this came from.

Hi Heather, good to see you back. Sounds like you had a great time in Florida and don't be embarassed by how many flower pics you took, you're a photographer - that's what your're supposed to do! I love the bright pink in this shot and the dof. Looking forward to seeing more flowers from Florida!
