Spring Finally Arrived

Crocus from wife's garden. She has around 240 daylilies that I plan on capturing, but that is a few months away.

Very pretty Phil! I love the background as much as the flowers! The wood chucks interspersed with grass blades is creating a really nice abstract pattern without becoming too busy!

As for Day-Lilies, I would say pick just 1-2 of the best ones from 240......jk

Thanks. While I did not use a macro lens, I was able to get fairly close. f/11, 1/320s, ISO 800

Even though the flowers are close to the ground a little wind was present so that I needed to bump ISO to 800 to get enough shutter speed.

Regarding daylilies, I am not planning on capturing them all, just enough to have fun and have wife be happy. This will be the fifth year for doing that. Every year I learn more and modify the process. Less on capturing the flower exactly as it is and a little more artistic.
