Headed out today to discover some birds. Came back with flowers instead.
When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.

That’s so my thoughts too, as I walk around the city with a camera in hand wherever I go, people think I’m busy texting most of the time when I’m actually picking out which photos to keep and retake 🙂
Beautiful captures! 🙂
So cool for you! I love how we get instant feedback with digital. You’re too young to know the film days. But 36 shots is all you get, and you better think it through and get it right. 🙂
You give me too much credit 😀 I remember the days when I would have to load up the film into the camera, only to every so often find myself not closing that flap soon enough and lose 3 to 4 frames that I could of used for that one right shot, Heck I even got the camera still in my drawer lol 😀

great shoot
Thank you!
Lovely Emily! We did the same thing today but got both!! Gotta Love Dolly Sods WV!
I’ve heard fabulous things about Dolly Sods. Bet the rivers were full. Have a great weekend.
Birds or blooms, you make them both look beautiful!
You are too sweet Jerry…and all with my 500mm. 🙂
Gorgeousness!!!!!
Thank you ! Got to love spring, and I haven’t been shooting flowers, so should get back to it. 🙂
I love that quote by Georgia O’Keeffe! And your photos are extraordinary. Spring brings back colour and joy.
Spring truly does bring a reawakening amongst ourselves. It’s a time of renewal. Thanks Rebecca.
Beautiful pictures and yet difficult to take – one breath of wind and they are out of focus. I had forgotten that I had put some iris bulbs in the garden so to my delight they are now in full flower
Now that is the best gift ever. Sort of like finding money in the pocket of your jeans after doing the wash. Actually, I use active mode focusing and high shutter speeds to get the flowers. Also I’m now using a zoom lens versus a macro. Learned the trick from a pro flower photographer.
I like it, it’s much beautiful!
Thank you!
Finally! Flowers! I’ve felt like this winter has been 2 years long. Sigh… Thanks for the flowers! I’m starting to feel like it’s spring. My time cards show it in my 53 hour weeks. Ugh.
I do have some bird pix to post. Nothing to compare to yours, however I’m working on it!
Oh my goodness Ilex – 53 hour week? And all in the office right? You need to get out and enjoy yourself a bit. I would like to hit the woods and find some nice wildflowers while they’re blooming. I bet your bird pics are awesome!
Re: bird pix, let’s just say you can tell they are birds. . Heehee!
LOL ! Hey, there are documentation shots, and glamour shots. They all have their place.
Gorgeous!
Stunning!
