OK, I nibbled your Yucca Flowers, but they were so sweet. Image taken with a Nikon D800 camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens ((ISO 800, 300 mm, f/2.8, 1/250 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
For my backyard walkabout today I used a Leica T camera with a wide-angle 11-23 mm zoom lens. I was pleased that I could focus this lens at relatively close distances. This first image is of a yellow California poppy flower. The first of these that I was fully open this season. These flowers close at night, and when cold — so I was glad to see it open this morning. You can read between the lines that I was happy that the sun was out this morning. Many more images of red and pink poppies. I planted four tomato seedlings. We will see if they make it this year. Progress is being made with the home renovation — the first section of the copper gutter was installed, and the first stone step to the patio was installed.
Walkabout in my wildflower garden with a Fuji X-T2 camera and 90 mm f/2 lens. Lots of red poppies, some large and some small. One series at different apertures (including a close-up crop). Still only one blue bachelor button (cornflower) blooming.
Afternoon walkabout. A bunny running away, a daisy wildflower, and a white moth.
