Still Life with Daffodils.
Open shutter (B setting), natural light, for 5 seconds during a lazy Saturday afternoon.
These were taken using a Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft focus lens. It was designed to have a ton of under-corrected spherical aberration. As such, it's depth of field is extremely deep, even wide open (if you don't understand how this can be, ask and I'll try to explain, or point you to someone who has already said it well). I find if I focus close and let the back edge of what is in focus barely touch the subject, the background _finally_ drops away. Messing with the aperture, of course, adds another dimension of possibilities.
The real reason I wanted to write something in these comments/descriptions is that this Pentax lens came mounted with a Nikon F-mount bayonet. It's the only Pentax K-mount lens I've so far seen remounted this way. I don't know if Pentax made a series of Nikon F-mount (never heard of it before) or if this was just a very good job done in a shop somewhere.

These flowers are visible each year only for a short time in the spring. I wanted to take an image that shows them relative to their surroundings and I thought the fence would make an interesting backdrop. The image was adjusted in software for contrast. I hope you like the result.
Crassula 'Springtime' forms pagoda-like stems with alternating fuzzy emerald-green pointed triangular leaves. Flowers appear in profusion and are pale pink with a deep pink center. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost to prevent scarring.

Everybody said that already and flower pictures are not my thing usually, but when I am surrounded by blossoming flowers sometimes I feel as if they were telling me again: "it's springtime!"
Our cherry tree usually blossoms in late March and April. This year it had flowers at the end of January!
