This is a tree that I visit every spring: the orchid flower tree, or orchid tree, or something like that. It is covered with these ridiculously luscious flowers, and seems as if it is from another world altogether.

Spring Hillside
It’s hard to stay home when the world outside is still blooming away after the winter rains!
Matilija Poppies
Matilija (pronounced muh-till-i-hah) poppies are amazing flowers. They bloom all at once, have flowers about 5″ in diameter, and can stand over 6 feet tall. Impressive when you have vast swaths of them. This year’s crop is magnificent!.
Please Be Seated
This is a doozy of a pano – about 40 – taken with the Df and the 70-300 Tamron. I used MS’s Image Composition Editor. It does a really good job, much faster the Photoshop. Click on the image a couple of times to see the detail and size of this picture – and I reduced it substantially from the original pano!
This particular bench is a favorite of mine, both to photograph and to plop down upon to survey the world around me.
Spring
I was caught by the abundance of green and yellow . . . this is a panorama which I think could be done better by focusing on the flowers and using a smaller aperture to create a better DOF.
