I seem to photograph this a lot. It is one of my favorite plants and is right off our back deck. It attracts hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and all sorts of pollen collecting insects.

 

Lens: Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1:4/300mm

I haven't used this lens much since I purchased it, I like the images that it produces so I will get it out more often.

 

Lens: Vivitar 70-150mm Macro f/3.8

I just got this lens about an hour ago so I thought I would test it for Macro Monday. I think it's a terrific lens. Pentax Forums only gives it a rating of 8.5 but I think it deserves more. My copy is in mint condition. The lens is from the 1970s. Production was stopped in 1980 and Vivitar went out of business in 2008. I only paid $15 US dollars for it so I'm quite happy with myself.

Lens: Helios 44-2 58mm f/2.0

It's Christmas Day 2025 and yesterday we were able to bring in fresh tropicana roses from our garden for the table centerpiece. It has been very mild here in NE Texas so we are fortunate. These add such a nice touch and smell so wonderful...

Sedum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, members of which are commonly known as stonecrops. The genus has been described as containing up to 600 species, subsequently reduced to 400–500. They are leaf succulents found primarily in the Northern Hemisphere, but extending into the southern hemisphere in Africa and South America. The plants vary from annual and creeping herbs to shrubs. The plants have water-storing leaves. The flowers usually have five petals, seldom four or six. There are typically twice as many stamens as petals. Various species formerly classified as Sedum are now in the segregate genera Hylotelephium and Rhodiola.

 

Well-known European species of Sedum are Sedum acre, Sedum album, Sedum dasyphyllum, Sedum reflexum (also known as Sedum rupestre) and Sedum hispanicum..

The "B/L Yellow Bird" orchid is a fragrant hybrid orchid, a cross between Bc. Richard Mueller and Brassavola nodosa, known for its bright yellow flowers with red spots on the lip and a sweet, lily-like fragrance, particularly noticeable at night.

Bidens laevis is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common names larger bur-marigold and smooth beggarticks. It is native to South America, Mexico, and the southern and eastern United States. It grows in wetlands, including estuaries and riverbanks.

 

Bidens laevis is similar in appearance to its relative Bidens cernua and the two are sometimes confused. This is an annual or perennial herb growing over 20 centimeters tall and sometimes much taller, exceeding one meter in height and sometimes approaching two. The narrow lance-shaped leaves are 5 to 15 centimeters long, with finely toothed edges and pointed tips. The inflorescence bears one or more flower heads which bend down as they become heavy with fruit after flowering. Each head has a center of yellow disc florets and a fringe of 7 or 8 yellow ray florets each up to 3 centimeters long. The fruit is a dry achene with sharp barbs that adhere to fur and clothing, thus helping the plant with seed dispersal.

this lens is actually pretty impressive when extended out on the helicoid for quasi-macro work. this was shot at either f2.2 or stopped down one click to f4. this lens might have one of the best macro tube performances of any of the vintage 50ish lenses i've had the opportunity to use.

Helianthus angustifolius is a species of sunflower known by the common name narrowleaf sunflower or swamp sunflower. It is native to the south-central and eastern United States, found in all the coastal states from Texas to Long Island, and inland as far as Missouri. It is typically found in the coastal plain habitat (both the Atlantic and Gulf), particularly in wet areas. Although, in general, this species prefers low, moist ground, it is tolerant of conditions varying from bogs and swamps near sea level to relatively dry, well drained, gravelly clay. It is not particularly drought resistant.

 

Helianthus angustifolius is often cultivated for its bright, showy yellow flowers. Leaves are long and narrow, up to 15 centimetres (5.9 in) long. It is a perennial herb sometimes as much as 150 centimetres (59 in) tall. One plant can produce 3-16 flower heads, each with 10-20 ray florets surrounding at least 75 disc florets.

This is in our greenhouse and is doing so well and is so beautiful. I have taken photos with three different vintage lenses so I will post more photos with the other two lenses.

"Difficulties make you grow"

 

I have been absent lately due to a small foot injury that did not allow me to walk. Now that I am a little better, I take the opportunity to show a photo that I have been able to make today of some flowers on my terrace. Little by little I will go back to my photographic activity.

Últimamente, he estado ausente de Flickr debido a una pequeña lesión en mi pie que no me permitía andar. Ahora que estoy un poco mejor, aprovecho para enseñar una foto que he podido hacer hoy de algunas flores de mi terraza. Poco a poco, iré retomando mi actividad fotográfica.
