April Showers



This was a bright spot to an otherwise raw, rainy day yesterday. I had a great time playing with my 50mm 1.4 lens to get the blurred background you see here. Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Red is the colour that will always stand out, nice to see the depth of field, completely changes a shot.

Beautifully composed, Slim.

Oh wow slim! That is just beautiful. I love it! Thanks for the tip off about this photo. I'm glad I checked in.

I'm still lurking on peoples blogs, but resisting commenting. I'm doing very little photography at the moment (again) I will get back into it. I think once spring proper arrives here things will be more appealing. Anyway, I hope you are well and you are clearly still enjoying taking photos.

All the best for now
Marley :)

Thanks for stopping by! Gotta love the tulips while they're here...

Congrats on closing in on 1000 photos! The 365 game is addicting, isn't it? I just started my 2nd year.

I enjoy your photos -- we lived in Quincy, near Wollaston Center, for several years and I love it when you capture something I recognize!

This is really pretty! One of my favourite flowers!

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
