Chive flower

I can’t believe these chives are still alive – they’re pretty much surrounded by aggressive mint. Herb garden pro tip: plant your mint in a container unless you want a mint garden.

Another photo from a walk around the yard with the 50/4 Macro-Takumar. I’m surprised these flowers made it through the winter – they were covered by a couple of feet of snow not long ago.

We have a tall cherry tree in the backyard, so I don’t need to go all the way down to the Tidal Basin to see blossoms. They’re a bit far up there though, so it’s a good opportunity to use one of my longer lenses. For this I used my favorite, a 135/3.5 Super Takumar, with an extension tube for closer focusing.
