Red stars

It turns out it’s possible to walk around the yard taking photos with a baby strapped on with one of these. My lens did get groped when I wasn’t paying attention…

Glowing helicopters

We went to Brookside Gardens to check out the azaleas and found these extra-bright maple seeds by the goose poo pond.

Grounded samara

I brought the K20D all the way to Alaska and it only worked for a couple of photos. Back home in the backyard it’s totally reliable – so frustrating! All the little helicopter seeds on the red maple fell while we were gone, so there’s a nice layer of them all over the patio.

Maple veins

Back from a trip to Alaska – next trip I’ll try to remember to queue up some photos to post while I’m away. Here’s another close-up of a maple leaf in the back yard, taken with the 50/4 Macro-Takumar of course.

Maple edge

The K20D is still working! When using the 50/4 Macro-Takumar it is very nice to have focus confirmation.
