Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Rhododendron Bloom after a Rainstorm. Composite of 17 stacked images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 60 mm f/2.4 macro lens. Images processed using Capture One Pro 7 and Helicon Focus.

I just got back from a birding photography trip to southern Texas and hoped that I would see the Rhododendron blooming this spring. The only blooms are the ones higher than the deer can reach.
