Pictures : SF Arboretum-Sept-2002 : Delicate flower

Back
These pictures came out of an afternoon visit with my very dear friend, Samuel. Samuel is a serious amateur photographer. Since I'm planning on leaving for New Zealand soon, I wanted to get the hang of my new Canon A40 camera. Samuel asked what sort of venue I was interested in, and I've always enjoyed taking pictures of flowers, so he suggested the Arboretum in Golden Gate Park. Once we walked inside the gate, he quickly gave me an assignment: use the Macro setting on the camera, and don't be afraid to get in close to the subject. I think his advice paid off, and I got a higher-than-usual number of decent pictures from that outing.

The petals on this flower were thinner than the thinest paper and fluttered in the wind
