I'm so looking forward to the annual crabapple bloom at The Arb. And the magnolias, redbuds, rhododendrons, daylilies, tulips, etc. Here are some flower photos I took there during early May 2021. The first shot with the bumblebee was with my Fuji xf80mmf2.8 macro, the second is the xf35mmf2, and the others with the xf23mmf1.4. All of my favorite prime lenses of all time.

A bumblebee flies to collect pollen from white crabapple blossoms. Even at 1/800th of a second shutter speed, only one wing is clearly visible, due to the angle and slightly different position in the cycle. They are busy bees for sure at this time of year. Isn't it cute?
With the F2 lens wide open the pink crabapple blossoms are mostly out of focus, but it creates an impressionistic feel that I really like. The hints of the blue sky complement the vivid pink and balance things out nicely.
It was a really bright and sunny day, so to shoot with the lens open to f2, with the pink crabapple flowers backlit like this I had to set it to 1/8500s at f160. It was also a very windy day, so that balanced things out and froze any motion.
A white magnolia blossom that is growing from a very tiny nub right next to the v of the trunk. It was something that I hadn't seen before, and it made for a very easy shot, with an interesting composition. The light was so beautiful that evening. This is at F1.8 for a shallow depth of field, to blur out the background. Not open all the way to f1.4, so it made more of the flower and back texture sharp.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe was one of my all-time favorite animated TV shows growing up.

"Ready to form Voltron! Activate interlocks. Dyna-therms connected. Infra-cells up. Mega-thrusters are go. Let's go Voltron Force!"

#ThrowbackThursday to last Saturday, my first outing with the new gadget 😁

🤦‍♂️ first lesson on the new phone ... when I turned the watermark on, I thought it would be the same as my previous... ha! After this snap, had to go in and reset the watermark as my handle + date/time stamp 😂

Very dark view over a marshy wetland landscape. Grey fog rises from the reeds and barren trees dark silhouettes, casting shadows on the water below. While the wetland is still dark as night, the sky above is a brilliant blue, with layers of pink and yellow rising from the horizon in advance of the approaching sunrise, casting reflections upon the water's surface below. In the foreground the silhouette of a small bench on a wooden pier overlooking the water, and a bright white stamped watermark: GalaxyS25 Ultra

This was Brendan Gleeson's character Colm's house in the movie The Banshees of Inisherin. It's just a prop, not a real house. Not even sure if it's still there (shot this in 2023). It was located on Keem Beach on Achill Island, Co. Mayo, Ireland. I had to frame this shot carefully so that it didn't show the tent a camper had popped up on the other side of the structure.

A small cottage by a white sand beach at the foot of a mountain with a rocky, uneven, grassy area in the foreground.

#throwbackthursday

Heute beim Einkaufen bin ich an einem offenen Bücherschrank vorbei gekommen - mit einer ganzen Sammlung von Angelique Büchern.

Vor 40 Jahren habe ich die begeistert gelesen. Ich hab kurz überlegt, ob ich eines mitnehme. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass ich mir damit einen Gefallen tue oder nicht einfach nur schöne Erinnerungen ruiniere.

Vermutlich letzteres, also habe ich es gelassen.
