Backyard Winter Nature in New Jersey: Spring is Coming!!!
When I got home today, I noticed that these Purple Crocuses were in bloom across the street. I think that this is the earliest that I have seen these blooming. In addition, some of the Daffodils are also starting to bloom.
For those wondering why I have not posted recently, things have been busy at work.

You’re loving that V1, aren’t you? Really nice shots, nice colour!!
I just went out on a shoot with Sophie (yesterday) and she used the newish Pentax 67 with a couple of lenses and a hefty tripod. It was quite fun–I have no idea how the shots will look–film is so hard to live with these days. How doI get to see your Google+?

Does Sophie also develop the film herself?
