Tulips in Toowoomba QLD with the Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM Lens

I love tulips. Brisbane where I live is warm and tulips don’t grow here though the winter is cool. The nearest place where I can find tulips in spring is Toowoomba which is little more than an hours drive from home. Every year early spring I make a trip to Toowoomba just to photograph tulips. You find them in Queens park.  There are other flowers also and around the Toowoomba flower festival Queens park is very colourful with neatly arranged flower beds of different flowers.They plant different varieties every year. There are not too many flower beds with tulips there but just enough to keep me busy for a couple of hours and a picnic in the park afterwards. Some years the variety you get is not great [ anyway there is not too many of them there] but still it is worth an hours drive and half a day out. This year I mostly used my Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for tulips and my 100mm 2.8 macro sparingly. 
I use the Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM Lens on a monopod with a swivel head and it suits my style of working. The monopod can go very low and get me down to flower level. The image stabiliser though of the older version works very well and the lens is very sharp. It is my favourite walkabout lens.
