I took this yesterday when the sun was out but opposite of this photo op. I took this shot, with my Minolta DiMage S414, of Daffodils growing by my truck’s tire. An average capture but I like it!

As those of you who follow this blog, both of you, know I love Spring and the many photo ops it brings. Well this Spring has not produced very many flowering things like it did last year. So as I was walking about our place I was over joyed to find this tiny treasure. Enjoy!

Last year at this time I had many photo opportunities due to the very mild Winter we had. The mild Winter had Spring fooled into showing up three or so weeks ahead of its normal arrival time frame. Though this Winter was a moderate one, we do not have much blooming yet. So as I looked for something to post I found this one from last March. Enjoy!

Late Spring or early Summer last year I was trying out my new-to-me Olympus SP-350. I was, and still am, having a time learning the 350’s sweet spot for macro. Though I am somewhat conformable with the manual settings on this camera, I cannot consistently dial in clear macro shots. With that said I came across this shot of a blooming but not-quite-there Queens Anne Lace. I like it and I hope you do as well.

Today was a wonderfully sunny day but I have been inside most of the day with a sinus headache. After taking a short three or so hour nap, I awoke with just enough energy to snap a few shots of the Daffodils blooming on the hill across from our place. Spring is coming because there are Daffodils on the hill!

I took this picture of from a bouquet of make up flowers. The rainbow rose is not something I had seen before this one. I personally love red roses but dyed roses are pretty cool too. Since I still have no real new opportunity’s for photo ops I decided to try some inside shots. This is one of a few I have taken lately. I have cannot change the weather but I have come to grip with the fact that I will have to try new things to get my click fix. So I here by name this The Rainbow Rose of Reconciliation.

When the Sun shows up I get hopeful. Hopeful that Winter is heading out and Spring will bring us color, warmth and the green things back into the world. Today I was hopeful. Tonight not so much! As the biting and unrelenting wind showed up, with Winters bitter grip in tow, I turned to last Springs and Summers photo for solace. Here is a photo I took with my Olympus Sp-350. I have yet to find a sweet spot on this camera s far as focusing goes. It does however take a decent macro. So here is a salute to Spring and looking forward by looking back. Enjoy!
