It seems that every Tuesday is triple digit day! You have to plan to have an outing early in the morning so it’s over by 10 a.m. because even shooting early in the evening, it’s still hot. So, to beat the heat on a recent Tuesday the group chose to invade Bushnell Gardens, a nursery in nearby Granite Bay. We had already visited Green Acres and wanted a different type of nursery.
We got there when it opened, and by 10 a.m., I was feeling the heat. It seems the older you get the less you can handle heat. I’ve started carrying one lens because I want to practice and don’t want to carry anything extra in the heat. I ended bringing my Nikon 18 – 140 mm into the nursery, and I think it did well with close ups, etc. I find that limiting myself to one lens is a great way to enhance my composition knowledge.
So here are some of the images I shot on that very hot morning.

Thanks Donna. I do believe my photography is improving. Now I have to learn how to process beyond Lightroom. Since I like to shoot and don’t like sitting at the computer, this is difficult.

Thanks Mercedes. That 18-140 almost kit lens is great. It’s my walk around lens. But, I can’t take credit for the colors. We give that to Mother Nature!!
