Botanical Gardens 053109

This past month I have acquired another Pentax ME Super SLR body that came with a Pentax M f:1.4 / 50mm lens, and another Pentax M f:3.5 / 135mm tele lens.
After cleaning and repair, I gave them the test yesterday with ASA 200 film at Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis.
It was a perfect weather day, high of 80 F, and a clear sky.

Lovely photographs Ed. The bee and flowers scenes are outstanding. I admire your
