What will this young Daffodil look like after it’s fully open? At the moment this image was made the answer was a mystery and that helped make the composition more interesting.
With camera in hand, I ventured on a short walk to record some of the beauty of Spring 2021 which is far better for me mentally than COVID Spring 2020.
Forsythia bushes blooming is a key sign that Spring has arrived here in SW Virginia. The flowers don’t last long but their bright yellow color always makes me happy warmer weather has arrived.
This year is a record for the number of flowers we’ve had this early on one of our two Camellia Bushes. Using my 16mm lens set at f4 gave me a perfect depth of field. The “flip LCD” on my Fuji camera also helped me compose the image down low and up close while having a wide view of various flowers in different states of bloom.
I saw very small light blue flowers in the grass next to the foundation of our brick home. I made a close-up at f2.8 to get a nice soft field of view with my camera at a very low angle. I didn’t think it was anything special at first, but after I downloaded it on my iPad screen I saw what I thought was a Fairy dancing on top.
Daffodils in our yard are starting to bloom about two weeks behind this year compared to last. We have hundreds growing all over so I suspect I’ll soon be overloaded with photo opportunities.
