We went out for an evening walk today and look at what I found! Spring is finally here, and the colors are simply amazing. I love this time of the year — fresh air, warm sun, low humidity, and everything just look so lively.
These are all taken with my 50mm f1.2 lens. Love love love the shallow depth of field.
Let’s start with the rhubarb in our backyard and some flowers on the tree in my neighbor’s yard. I was pretty amazed to see the rhubarb flowers. Well, that just shows how much I know about plants — LOL. I definitely do not have a green thumb.
Pink overload! Pretty yummy bokeh here too. : )
Let’s throw in some green now.
Crab apple tree maybe?
I have a secret admiration for dandelions. I do believe that one day they will take over the world.
Lilacs smell so good! Check out the pretty light — I wish it stays like this throughout the year.
Hope you are enjoying the great weather as much as I do!
warmly,
Ai Ling

Amelie, the 1.2 lens really makes awesome bokeh. We live in a small house with a little front/back yard. :)
Lauranne - what a wonderful lens… the shot with the dandelions taking the world and the house in the background is awesome, awesome, AWESOME !!
