Photos of the day, August 8, 2014

I was headed to the Rose Garden up in Washington Park, but that plan was changed when I saw that there was a massive crowd growing for a free concert.  Instead I headed to the Arboretum.

Today's photos were exclusively taken using my D3200 and a fixed 85mm f1.8 lens with Fotodiox macro extension tubes.

I thought I knew what this tree was, but apparently I don't.
