Monthly Challenge for April

Spring Flowers

Ah come on Jesse. If anybody I know sees me taking pictures of flowers they'll think I've flipped.

Oh well maybe I can sneak a picture while nobody's looking.

Lost exposure info, I bracketed several shots, this one is closest to actual lighting. This was late in the afternoon in a shady part of the back yard. There are some even better but they were all closed up, I'll get 'em in the mornin'.

I thought we would never see bare ground this year but the white stuff is going in a hurry!

I had a bumble bee pose for me in these yesterday and I thought I had some great shots but everyone with him was a

My wife thinks I've lost my mind for sure now! Sitting by her rock garden waiting for the bee to come back

foulshot, that is called a butterfly iris. Supposedly they attract butterflies. We have some in our yard but we have not seen any butterflies yet.
