Azalea Dreams

I pass by these Azalea bushes every day and can't help but photograph them. For some reason they are hard to focus. I tried using a Pentax with a manual focus 28 mm Macro lens. I managed to get this picture.

When a Weed is a Weed

Yep, it is Spring and not only are the flowers blooming, the weeds are making themselves known. I love the yellow flowers of the dandelions but I especially love the fluffy seedpod thingy. The are beautiful in their symmetry even if they spread and become a nuisance

.

It's a Ladybug

Phase two of the Spring, the bugs are coming out. Soon I will be trying to capture the butterflies but today I found a ladybug sitting happily on a Dogwood bloom.

Springtime Flowers

If it is Spring, I'm usually taking flower pictures, Summer, it's bug and butterfly pictures. Here is a picture from today.

A Sunny Bright Day

As promised, here are some pictures of the dogwoods with yesterday's sunny very blue sky. Now if only I could get that and no wind. It would be a win-win situation to take photographs.

Another Perspective

It's windy today and the sky has thin high clouds. Not the fluffy kind that look cool in the background but the blah kind that kinda washes out the background. I tried to go out and take pictures anyway. I decided to take some pictures of the dogwoods looking from below aiming up toward the sky. This is the one from today. I'll post one from yesterday in another post.

By the Light of the Moon

There is a cool crescent moon out tonight and it just begged me to get the tripod and the camera out and go try to get some good shots. I like how this one turned out.
