Great low angle on Valery's crocuses

Superb bokeh on that rose JB, love the 'pop'

Thanks Birma. First time capturing flowers with the a99. Tilt screen and focus peeking are a joy to work with.
More to come.

Here is a picture of the meadow filling up with spring wild flowers following a bit off sun and warmth we've had.

Like me, this flower has seen rain for the last 15 days consecutively. It's getting hard to stand up straight.

A couple more wildflower pictures from me.

A catch-up from last year; a Bluebell, among many other Bluebells carpeting the local woods at this time of year.

First one - just WOW.

Nice shots JB. Looks like quite a bit of rain you were having there.
Love the dreamy shot (first one) Andy. That STF is something.
