First Flowers

Magnolias are early, tough, and usually face the harshest weather, which is why I like them so much.

Lens Turbo, Metabones, Stills

Ice

Ice crystals captured with my 100mm and 200mm macro lenses during the recent cold spell.

Spring In The Backyard

We’ve been waiting a while, so it was worth the couple minutes in the garden. Tulips, Japanese Painted ferns, hostas, and even the dreaded dandelion make appearances.

Sliver of Longwood

From an earlier short trip to Longwood Gardens, I wanted to get there before the water lilies were done for the year.

Irises, 2012

My irises popped up this week, so heading into a very busy few days I stopped to shoot the flowers.

Magnolia, 2012

These are a week earlier than 2010, and three weeks earlier than 2009. They’re still my favorite flowering tree.

Orchids and Other Flora

I decided to take another walk around Longwood Gardens to see how the orchids are doing. As usual, I spent time with the calla lilies and the silver room, too.

The Reel Deal

These are scans of real film, all the way to the sprocket holes. This is from a quick Sunday visit to Longwood Gardens. Taken with my F100, and both my 200mm f/4 macro and SMC Takumar 100mm f/4 macro.

Jellies

Jellyfish and other neat stuff from the Baltimore Aquarium.
