Botanical Center, 2006

Moisture in the air and droplets on the flowers and giant palms made for a lush setting. I had a second flash on a tripod for most of these shots. The 12x optical zoom and mega stabilizer of the FZ-10 made these shots a breeze. . . Click on an image to see a larger photo. . .
