Let the Sunshine In ✨

I took this image of the San Diego Mountain Lilac (Ceanothus cyaneus) on a hike yesterday. I went out hoping to see some California poppies, but it was a bit too early for them in the are that I was in. However, San Diego Mountain Lilac and also Wild San Diego Sweetpea ( I post an image later) started to bloom already. Soon all hills are going to be covered by blooming Mountain Lilac. It is not as flashy as orange poppies, but the subdued lavender color is amazing, imho.

I choose to take Industar61 with me this time. The thought was if I see some tiny blooms, like in this Lilac or wildflowers, Industar61 will give me more sharpness then my other vintage lenses. I love the rainbow star bokeh here.
