New York has diversity in spades. This is a normal scene at the Queens Botanical Garden. Queens, BTW, is by far the most diverse borough of New York City. The lens was the 24-45 F3.5-5.6.

Partenza 8-27-10 Nikon D 200
Sicilia bedda, isula scarsa d'aqua ma ricca d'amuri. Partu, vegnu, m'avvicinu. Luntanu nnu ci pozzu stari cchiu'. Cuminciu a sintiri i toi ciavurii, i toi sapuri e comenciu a viriri li toi culuri. Comu pozzu stari luntanu. Solu taliannuti 'nta na carta geografica palesanu li tiu biddizzi. Chi triangulu beddu. Tuttu l'amuri chi niatri chi stamu luntanu e purtami chiusu dintra lu nostru cori nun si po' fari capiri a chiddi 'ccu nu tannu mai vista o assapuratu li toi beddizzi. La tua genti amurusa, li toi mari cavuri e virdi comu li toi campagni chi a primavera sunni di milli culuri. Vegnu, picchi stari luntanu di tie e' mpossibbili. An ode in Sicilian to Sicily. I'm leaving today. I wiill be there soon!
The successor of the LX-3 is here, the LX-5
The same superb sensor with more dynamic range and the same superb Leica Vario Summicron that now goes to 90mm equivalent. But the deal maker is the ability to add an EVF to the camera thus making easier to use in daylight. I cannot stand to use the LCD screen to compose images. This little gem should be here soon. Let's hope that the distribution is better than it was for it's predecessor.
That amazing LX-3
Yes indeed, that amazing LX-3 that was commandeered by my daughter but had the fortune to use and take to Italy last August. Here are some of my roses as they were beginning to fade. I hope you like them.
