Blooms of spring

With a late season snowstorm moving in, I headed to the backyard on Thursday to get some pictures of my wife’s blooming flowers before the cold and snow arrived. I figure they will not look anywhere near as nice after yesterday and today so wanted to capture some images while I could.

Macro photography is not one of my strong suits but it is fun to get out there and play around, particularly when the subject is right out the backyard. My wife spent three years revamping thousands of square feet of our yard from grass to drought-resistant flowers and has transformed it into a pretty cool space.
