    Call for May
    If no one else wants to call a project does anyone object to me calling it? What do y'all think about flowers? Since April showers bring them, you in?:)

    Greg - works for me! I think Spring has finally arrived in New Jersey - it took a LONG while for the robins to appear this year! They're finally showing up - two at a time.....just like Noah's Ark! :D

    I'll be posting as soon as I can find some defrosted flowers! :thumbsup:

    Thanks!

    Jimmy,

    These are really nice shots. The last one looks good to me, but the 3rd is my favorite!

    I haven't taken any flower shots for a while, but I will try to find some "defrosted" flowers this week......in the meantime, here are a couple of oldies.

    I shot this especially for the flower towering above all the rest near the top of the window.

    I'm equal opportunity. Took these the same day as the last flower shot, the largest of these mushrooms is less than 1cm across.

    It took a few takes to get it. I used the 50-200mm and every little bit of wind caused blur.
