This will be the last series of photographs taken when we were in Miami this past February. These were taken at Fairchild Gardens in South Miami, Florida. I enjoy going to Fairchild Gardens so much because it is what most people think Miami looks like! I see Miami as a city instead of this garden but I still enjoy the look of the garden.

The photo on the bottom is of a Common Iguana. This Iguana was about 3 to 4 feet long. They run all over at Fairchild Gardens. I think they view them as a problem but they are so non-Iowa that I love to photograph them. This was taken with a Nikon D3 and a 300 mm lens at 5.6.

The photograph on the right is a very cool reflection shot taken at Fairchild Gardens. It was also taken with the Nikon D3 and a 300 mm lens at 11.0.

The photograph on the upper left is of some beautiful folige at Fairchild Gardens. I took this as a color file and then used photoshop to make it into a black and white photograph. We are in the process of getting a large print of this made to hang in our home! This was taken with a Nikon D3 and a 50 mm lens set at 5.6.
