Lone Calla

From 2010 Blog

- My lone calla lily shows off its graceful curves and lovely yellow color. I only have one plant and usualy only get one bloom a year, so it's really special. Canon 7D, 1/1600 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 400, 100mm.

First Day of Spring

From 2010 Blog

- It was just a beautiful first day of spring here in Virginia Beach, 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. So I walked down to the end of our block to take some pictures of a long line of blooming Forsythia. The flowers are produced in the early spring before the leaves, bright yellow with a deeply four-lobed corolla. The followers are short lived but a welcomed sign that spring is here. Canon 40D, 1/400 sec @ f/9.0, ISO 200, 50mm macro.
