My entry to today's Monomad Challenge, Today was a great day
The truth is that today I took a lot of pictures that I found interesting, and to begin with I will show you one of the pictures that at first I thought I should delete, the picture has a strange stray light effect almost like lens flare for not using a lens hood with my 24mm lens, and as I say, I thought about deleting the image but luckily I didn't, when I got home and started to edit I realized that I could actually create something beautiful with contrast, and this was the result, I hope you enjoy it.
And well, actually when I got to the park I focused on some plants that I found while walking, like for example a Hibiscus sabdariffa plant that had a beautiful flower that I had never seen before, it is quite interesting and I was tempted to show it with all the color too.
Continuing with the process of the plant, once the flower is pollinated, it ends up closing its petals and acquires this strawberry-like aspect.
And just so you could see the surroundings I took this picture where you can't really appreciate it as well as I would like but I must say that I like the place a lot, I might even come back with another lens to see what other pictures I can take.
In this area there are also many salvia plants of different types, for example this one has the pink color, I must have a photo that I don't edit yet to share, soon I will do it.
Another photo that I liked because of the strong contrast due to the bright sun, is the photo of the next duck, I would have liked to wait for another pair of ducks or geese to swim by in the background, but I was almost five minutes waiting and the truth is that I try not to stop so much because remember that I am going for a walk for exercise, the photography I do is something extra.
Now I show you the achiote plant, a deep red plant that is used in many dishes of Mexican cuisine, such as when we roast chicken, it tastes delicious, I will show you later in more detail the inside when the flower opens.
I took a few photos of the man in the first picture that I didn't like, but I think the following picture is good enough to share with you.
And finally this animal called badger is separated from the other animals because he is sick, he didn't stop moving and taking the picture was complicated, I hope to come back and find him in a better condition next time, see you.
Thank you @visualshots and @wilfredocav
