It was a beautiful evening in the garden!  The sun was shining, but slowly dipping behind the hill.  The flowers were glowing in the warm light.  I changed lenses many times in this place where the flowers were plentiful, but not totally accessible for macro photography.  This image was shot with the Lensbaby Velvet 56 at f/1.8.  I would have loved the background to be even more out of focus than it is, but still I’m happy with the softness of this image and the burst of color throughout.
