Glad to see so many today.
Michael, thank you for the high praise. That meant a lot to me.
And thank you all for commenting on the white flowers. It was taken with one of my favorite lenses, it creates a nice soft background at f/2.8.
Dave, welcome back. Good to see the mustard/ketchup roses are still thriving.
Natalie. Yes, that effect is tough to achieve by twisting the lens. But you did well. I love the smell of lilacs, but my favorite spring flower smell is Lilly of the valley. I picked a big handful in my daughter’s yard and she enjoyed the beautiful fragrance they added to her house.
Grant, glad you are back too. I hope your dad does well and can recover his speech. My mother-in-law suffered from a stroke after being in a car accident. She was paralyzed on half her body and lost her speech. This happened in her early 50’s. She was able to learn about 20-25 words but the rest were unretrievable. She lived for another 25 years like that. She was a remarkable lady and kept the faith until she passed in her mid 70’s.
Grant, was your father living on his own? Wishing you patience and strength. It is a difficult time.
I love the photo of the blossoms and am so glad that you have blossoms surrounding you. The effect of the lens is cool and once again, You got me thinking about a lens baby.
Rich, that row of lilac bushes are beautiful and being well cared for. Get your smells in while they last.
Night all.
Lorell
