Post your flower pics

Thanks Ron! On a side note, I've been using back button focusing and continuous a lot lately and I really like the results. It is an additional compensation for any of my movement.

Had a few minutes to kill this morning waiting for the boss to come open up the department

That's a little adventursome for me. I could se the continuos shooting but I have never used back focusing button.

Got to start living on the wild side @RON. . .

 

[RON_RIP]

Well maybe I will as long as I can tell everyone that you said to do it

 

[wev]

Sure, no problem -- nobody believes anything I say anyway

Ok then, I am going to walk on the wild side. I have not that since I was young and stupid. It will be like living my youth over again. Thanks buddy, I think.

I have been young and stupid for so many years, I've given up on any chance of a change. As I have posted before, I changed the front left Fn button to focus, as I have a wonky right hand after going one round too many with a 14 x 22 Craftsman printing press a decade ago. It took some getting used to, but is now natural and very efficient both for stills and motion pics.

Machinery can be treacherous. My woodworking machines spend every night plotting against me and I have had a few close calls. But I am on to them and am constantly on guard. Your wonky hand has not affected your photography which is pretty great.

Spent the morning at the Arb trying to decompress from the weekend plant sale -- nothing like some birds and flowers to recharge the spirit.

I especially like the cactus blooms. We do not get to see them here

 

[RON_RIP]

Here is a blossom I am anxious to identify.

Looks like a magnolia blossom that has gotten burnt from cold. What is its size and can you take a picture of the leaf?

Not sure where to post this as its not a flower more a pain in the neck for gardeners.
My wife calls it Sticky Weed, its also known as Velcro plant you can see why.
Its real name apparently is Galium Apanine.
