I've seen these Jade flowers on leis but didn't know they grow on vines.
I'm amazed how strong these tall bamboos are.
The bright sunlight was really harsh to photograph, but I finally got one of the Ohia blossom.
I tried taking the entire foot bridge using my wide zoom lens. The afternoon sunlight was really harsh.
Then got a great suggestion from Paster Curtis to try taking a different perspective, climbing down a slope. This came out much better.
Here are some of the flowers.
Here's what I call "reflection from a puddle of water".
Celia was kind enough to let me use her new 70-200mm IS F2.8L lens and I was able to take these really sharp zoom shots. These were taken from the foot bridge and maximum zoom were used on these shots.
The zoom lens is super sharp and the Image Stabilzation(IS) really helped get the subject sharp.
This is "trust in your monopod"..Erick hanging his camera over the bridge to get some cool shots.
I was able to get a quite a bit of sharp shots w/ the lens, thanks to Celia.

Great shooting, your pictures are much sharper! I know which lens you need to get next.
I am impressed. Very very nice pics!!!
Very, very nice shots!!! Now I need to check out the garden. I noticed you using the 70-200mm from pictures on Erick's blog. Leslie also just got that lens and is taking some awesome pictures with it too. I love your bamboo shot, your ohia, your bridge with lily in front, your reflection, the one with Erick holding out his monopod . . . okay, I pretty much liked 'um all. I couldn't really tell that the sun was hampering your photos. As Erick said, "Great shooting!"
