I always hear people saying how they only get their camera out when something special is going on like relatives coming over, Christmas, birthdays or traveling somewhere.

I'd RATHER GO PHOTOGRAPHING:

When photographing botanicals, don't forget about the over all scene.

The sun doesn't always have to be behind the photographer. In this case it bathes the bird and the rock and gives the image a zen moment.

Ok... this is not something you will find in Florida! Really.......

Sometimes you don't need a specific flower... Here it's all about the contrast of color.

Choose backgrounds that will emphasize your subject. Look at what this incredible tree does to the fruit. These photographs were taken in the northwestern part of the US.

When photographing botanicals and landscapes, look for water and check out the reflections. They create wonderful photographs.
