I had gone onto the porch to take a picture of how dirty my feet were... trust me they were worthy of a picture... and then I saw these flowers instead. The lighting was too nice to resist shooting them instead.
This one amazed me by how sharp it came out. This lens has been a pleasure to shoot with!
I was saddened that my neighbor removed a beautiful tree from their yard, just as it was budding. One of the branches fell into my yard when they were removing the tree. I decided to try to capture some of the trees former beauty before it was completely gone.
"It was a little budding rose,
Round like a fairy globe,
And shyly did its leaves unclose
Hid in their mossy robe,
But sweet was the slight and spicy smell
It breathed from its heart invisible.
The rose is blasted, withered, blighted,
Its root has felt a worm,
And like a heart beloved and slighted,
Failed, faded, shrunk its form.
Bud of beauty, bonnie flower,
I stole thee from thy natal bower.
I was the worm that withered thee,
Thy tears of dew all fell for me;
Leaf and stalk and rose are gone,
Exile earth they died upon.
Yes, that last breath of balmy scent
With alien breezes sadly blent!"
Emily Brontë

As the sun sets on a fine spring evening, a Blue Jay noms down on a peanut amongst the budding tree.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
