Day 136 – Leaves

Lilac bush catching the last bit of sun before it fell below the western horizon. Shot hand-held using Speedlite with soft box attachment to provide a little fill.

Grape leaves and baby grapes.

Day 119 – Spring!

Spring is busting out all over in my backyard.  I shot these this morning while the sun was still relatively low in the sky.

Some apple blossoms . . .

I’m loving the rim from the sunlight in this one.

The lilacs have gone nuts.

I plan on posting more of my f/2.2 photos a bit later today, but first I have PRINTING to do!

Day 92 – Tender shoots

Wow. Three full months down! I can hardly believe it.  Day One of Month Four on deck.

The backyard is starting to spring to life . . .

My peony, a gift for my wedding shower in 2002, has never failed to provide spectacular blooms. I’m always happy to see these quick-growing shoots make their appearance.

My favorite flowers, though, are roses. We’ve got about five bushes in our backyard. I can’t wait for their sweet-smelling blooms!

The lilac bushes are all springing to life as well.
