These are the coolest looking flowers with those bright flourescent green tips - and a big draw for hummingbirds. Used my macro lens for this closeup. Tried a variety of DOF options, this turned out the best.
Spring is starting to show a little around here. This is from the lemon tree in the back yard. It's been SO windy this week and I had to wait several days for it to be calm enough to capture this close enough. And it smells heavenly - strong like lemon pledge.
This blog started a couple years ago with my first attempt to complete a picture a day for a year. I made it into August but with quite a few misses in the last couple months. This year I've been inspired to try again.
My goals with the 365 project are to improve both my eye for noticing the unusual or pretty (even in the mundane) as well as to improve my skills. That means taking the camera off auto more often!
REMEMBER - You can click on any photo and see it larger and with more detail. Some of them look quite cool that way.
