To escape the heat and humidity on Sunday, I went to Muskegon and hiked the Lost Lake trail. I shot some of the best photos of my life today, and some that may not be spectacular, but are interesting enough to post. I took 341 photos today, whittled that number down to 130, as many of the photos were of the same subject, but shot with different settings.

For this post, I am going to do just the flowers and plants from today, I hope that you'll like them as much as I do. There's not much to say about them, other than I think that laying in the mud for some of these was worth it. I used all three of my lenses at one time or another for these, depending on the size of the flowers, and how close I could get to them.

You can click any of these for a larger few.

I'm sorry that there are so many of the same flowers, but I was on a roll, and after seeing them, I can't pick out the best of the best, I like them all.

I still have bugs, birds, and Bambi from today to post, I'll get to those in other posts.

That's it for this one, thanks for stopping by.
