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.
Springtime brings bluebonnet season to Texas, and families often seek out these fields for family photos. Here's a field of bluebonnets with an unusually large showing of red paintbrushes mixed in - as found south of Dallas (near Ennis, TX) in the Spring of 2014. This particular field was well hidden from view of travelers due to a ridge along the country road completely hiding the field. I got lucky in noticing a narrow access point to climb up a fence and get this particular shot.

Springtime is here and the magnolia tree in our garden is laden with blossom. It is a new season for me too after surgery and radiotherapy I am embracing a full life once again.

Springtime Walk Around Our Yard - lots of little flowers popping up!
Iris pallida, the Dalmatian iris or sweet iris, is a hardy flowering perennial plant of the genus Iris, family Iridaceae. Their distinctive flowers have upright petals called "standards" and cascading petals called "falls". Running down the center of each fall is a “beard” that resembles a furry caterpillar. The leaves of bearded iris are flattened and sword-like, and the plants grow to varying heights.

Spring wildflowers, hills, and the Carrizo Plain
In the spring following a wet winter, you can often find excellent wildflower displays all over the state of California — from the deserts to the Sierra foothills and just about anywhere else with some suitable land. I photographed these in hills of south-central California that lie between the Great Central Valley and the valleys that run just inland of the coast ranges.
It had been an excellent year for rainfall here — after five years of crushing drought California had a single winter of record-setting precipitation. The plants took advantage of this, and in many places managed to produce extensive wildflower displays. A few of us hiked up into these hills, and photographed back toward the valley below and the setting sun.
