Wild Iris
Well, flowers are starting to bloom, and spring is trying to be here, but for some reason, this cold wind just doesn’t seem to want to release its grip on the valley. So rather than battle the wind and shoot fast shutter speeds, or wait for the wind (and the Iris) to die, I decided to just go with it…

There was a couple of other photographers out shooting, but the color never popped, and the wind was incessant. Rather than battle the conditions, I went with it, stopped down to f/22, and even dropped a 3stop ND filter on to slow it down and really exaggerate the blur. I think it came out fairly neat!
The Victoria and Wild Rose are blooming in the front yard, too…

One of these days, spring will actually get here and stay for a little while…
Thanks for looking!
Lots of Wildflowers
I went for a walk with Annette and Rose this morning, in search of some wildflowers. Nothing like a beautiful Sunday morning in fields of Wild Iris. Some of these are cultivated, but most are wild…
