This is a photo of an orange flower that I took at Lake Tahoe.  I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Sigma 70-300mm lens.  I had the lens stuck in the Macro setting and couldn’t get it out so I just shot it the way it was.  My family was in a hurry so I needed to run.  I think the picture came out beautifully.  I am not sure exactly what kind of flower it is but if you know please let me know.  Thanks!
