Very young leaves on Crep Myrtle tree appearing.

A black and yellow butterfly is taking a nap on a rhododendron flower. I had all time to take his pictures under all possible angles.

Yellow pansy

Blue pansy

Small young cone, difficult to focus entirely

Pink. At that moment the sun is shining and increases the contrast between the bottom and the top. The small petal on the left breaks the symmetry.

This one is having his meal. I had just a few seconds before he flew away.

Display of violet flowers. The soft focus on the left is not great.

Dandelion waiting for the wind.

Birds never stay in one place very long.

This one is safe in the tree, he let me get close for a nice shot.

A mockingbird in technical maintenance.

Orange poppies as far as the eye can see.

Mockingbird.

Robin.

Bird three.

The cardinal is particularly fast to go from one place to another, all the time, hiding behind branches and always far from me.
