A nice traditional festival that Annette and Jason and my grandkids went to this past weekend.
More Dahlias from the North Carolina Arboretum Dahlia Festival, September, 2015. I added a vignette effect to these three shots.
I agree and I appreciate all of the comments and constructive feedback I have received.
Yes, there were more flowers at the festival. Here are three more. What a beautiful show in a beautiful venue.
My wife and I enjoyed this festival in Asheville this past weekend.
My wife and I enjoy this walk close to home. The trail is located in Elizabethton, Tennessee.

I took this shot with my new Tokina Macro lens about a week ago. Any comments are appreciated. This was my first outing with my new lens mounted to my Nikon D600.
Thanks for all of the responses. This was my first post on the forum and I appreciate all of your help.
I would appreciate some user experience comments about the Tokina 16-28 and 17-35 wide angle options. These are more within my price range.
Thanks. I'll check it out. Any thoughts on third party lenses?
I'm looking to purchase a wide angle zoom lens for my Nikon D600. Will be used mostly outdoors for nature and landscape photography. I would like to keep the price under $1,000. Any suggestions?
