Backyard Early Summer Nature in New Jersey.

Day Lily Theft in Progress. One thing I like about these flowers is deer don’t eat them. Image taken with a Nikon D810A camera and 70-200 mm f/4 lens (ISO 200, 102 mm, f/4, 1/500 sec). Raw image processed differently since my imaging software (Phase One/Capture One) doesn’t recognize the raw image format for this camera. Only joking about the theft — just liked the Bokeh of the hand in the background.
