I’ve wanted a soft focus lens for a while without smearing Vaseline on a filter. The Lensbaby Soft Focus 2 does the trick.

Sunrise, Sunflowers, and Spider Webs
While I was out for my morning walk, I noticed the sunflowers with the sunrise hitting them during the golden hour. As I looked closer, I could see one with a string of spider webs.
I couldn’t find the spider but it could have been a worm too. Lucky or unlucky?

Mother’s Day flowers
Last weekend I got my wife some flowers for Mother’s Day. Saturday it was raining all day so the flowers called me.
The background is a blurred photo of our shower curtain.

Poppies in the park
Social distancing is still in effect, with good reason, but I went to a park to make some pictures. The wildflowers are blooming in Texas and the weather was nice. I went early in the morning, I figured no one would be at this little area.
It was a very nice day but these flowers move so easily with the slightest breeze. The bees were a bonus.
Texas Bluebonnets
Spring has sprung in Texas when you see the Bluebonnets on the sides of the road and in the open fields.
Even with the crazy Coronavirus, there is beauty to be found by “Social Distancing”. With everyone staying indoors and apart, I went to get a few pictures of this Bluebonnet field in Richardson. While I did see some people, they were at least 40 feet away or further.
The Bee’s were buzzing!
Yellow, Blue make Green. God’s complementary colors.
Stay safe!

Texas Roadside
A few months ago on a quick trip to Abilene, Texas, we stopped at a roadside park as nature called. The park was landscaped nicely so, while waiting, I grabbed my camera.
I am not sure what variety of flower this is but the sun shining through the petals made a nice shot.
