Wow. That's some gorgeous flora from both of you!
I went out for a drive on the Chuckanut (stop giggling) Highway in Washington State yesterday - possibly one of the most scenic drives I've been on. Here's what I shot:
This is the view from the first stop on the Chuckanut. Puget Sound is just beautiful and rather humbling to behold.
This corner screamed "car commercial!" to me. I heard the motorcycle coming, so I waited and snapped this shot.
This was the last stop on the Chuckanut; there are some oyster farms just to the left (South) of the frame. Apparently there's a Bivalve festival in July at the Oyster Farm just down the road. Apparently that means that there's going to be oysters for the eatin' at that time.

Not easy to capture this little gal. It's a Synanthedon myopaeformis (apple clearwing moth). This is the first (or second) documented individual in North America (and I had the dubious distinction of finding it).
And this one was taken while I was conducting research in the Okanagan. It's a honeybee (duh) pollinating an apple blossom.
Both taken with a Canon SD500 (I think - I no longer have that camera).

Krypto that's fantastic! Seeing something that rare must have been a rush - and snapping a picture of it must have been a rush even more so.
I spent some more time this evening playing with Apple's Aperture and Photomatix. I used Aperture to create multiple versions of my RAW images at varying exposures - I fed those into Photomatix and produced some interesting HDR images. I still need a little bit of practice with this, but I liked the results:

Ooo, those are really cool! And the Aquabus! I'm also thinking the play park is either on the Kits side or the downtown False creek side, but I can't remember which one (I don't tend to hang out there too often 
).
).I was thinking of experimenting with HDR a little bit, just to try it out, but I keep forgetting to set the camera to the RAW format so that I can have all the actual data. I'm pretty sure you can also do it with jpegs, but the RAW image is definitely the better option. I actually saw some really cool ones that friends of friends had posted on Facebook... Very very cool (and the colours are so vibrant).
