Poppies are the California state flower, harbingers of Spring, and something I look forward to every year.



The first cherry blossoms of spring have arrived at a local garden. With our past week’s heat wave (90+ F), the spring bloom in the hills is fading, and I was worried the cherry blossoms would have been blighted. Not so – at least for a few!

This is another shot taken with the 70-300mm lens on the V1. It does a nice job for discrete street photography, I think.
