I accidentally bought a 35mm DX lens instead of a full-frame one. Bummer, but sometimes the result can be very nice...
At the "Jacka" - Grafton's annual Jacaranda Festival, Grafton, NSW Australia, Nov 2005. It's not easy to see, even when enlarged, but the sign on the figtree says "Show Times", 2.00 o'clock, etc.
Moreton figtree in Allerton botanical gardens, on the southern tip of Kauai. This is a great place to visit, they have daily tours, but also have a sunset tour with a dinner that is supposed to offer amazing views. And the fig trees and the golden bamboo garden were my favorite.
