Cherry blossoms

Cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossoms.

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.

Striped crocuses

Spring is here, or at least the crocuses think so! Cherry blossoms can’t be far behind, so you can expect to see some of those here soon.

Calla lilies

Found these in Golden Gate Park on a trip to San Francisco. We met up with my parents and toured the city, walking way too much because the streetcars were too crowded.

Fritillaries on milkweed

I found these butterflies while hiking at Little Bennett Regional Park. A tick bit me on the same trip and I ended up having to get treated for Lyme disease.
