Taken in the shade, the pictures are rather bluish, but I chose not to color correct them. I was very happy with the ISO3200 results and did not use noise reduction on them. Quite impressed with the output of this awkward feeling (large, heavy lens on small body)combination.

The obedient plant blossoms are very attractive to bees and butterflies and were very dense this year, as the plants get more and more established. We had a very heavy downpour last night and they were toppled by the force - actually not too bad for photographing the butterflies, but the area looks very messy!
