<p>Spring, and ... it's been a really busy few days. So just to take a break and do some shooting for its own sake, I prowled the garden. The irises were about to let loose, and this was the last chance to catch them before they got all poofy and ostentatious. They're more attractive when they're being coy. Shoot any wall flowers? Share!</p><div></div>

<p>On the <em>not</em> shy side of things, this frisky baby slug was out in broad daylight, really taking his (or her? how can you tell?) chances. </p><div></div>

<p>Indian Blankets (gaillardia pulchella) doing their best to camouflage the similarly colored suburban scenery. Even the honeybee blends in.<br /><br /><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17762525-lg.jpg" alt="Indian Blankets (gaillardia pulchella) camouflaging suburban scenery." border="0" /><br /><em>Nikon V1, 10-30 VR, tweaked from raw to desaturate the blown-out reds.</em></p>

<p>Shot some pics of our kids this past week for a mothers day present. I used a Nikon F3HP and Fuji Pro S film. All shots were done with a Nikon Series E 50mm lens because, well, that lens just sucks so much. :)</p>

<p>Yesterday, violets and tree blossoms were just beginning to peek out into an abnormally cold Wisconsin spring. I was alone at this Wyalusing State Park overlook, to witness.</p><div></div>
