Let’s go Flowers!


We went to one of the local strawberry fields, on a stormy day, and they also have u-pick-flowers, which was very convenient to do bunches of flowers with sky background. Lying on the ground, my intention was to do HDRs, but it was too windy, even for straigt photos, which ended up being fine, giving… Continue reading Let’s go Flowers!

There are some birds around already, although not… Continue reading Osprey at the Lake
