Purple Clover

These "weeds" grow where I am from too, but I never knew they were a type of clover.

Some Kind Of Pink

This is some kind of flower that is in bloom. It looks nice with the full green leaves.

Front Bokeh

One technique you can use when shooting is to use objects in the foreground for frontal bokeh. Here I used the daisies in the front to add an extra dimension which I am not sure works here.

What Should Have Been

I cannot believe I cut this off.

Beauty

Does beauty need non-beauty to be beautiful?

Another Rose

Before it died, I took another shot at taking a shot of the rose.

Indoor Rose

One of the roses I got my wife for V Day.

I can't wait until spring.

Tears on an Hydrangea

The Japanese word for hydrangea is ajisai. They are all over my neighborhood.

The Last Cherry Blossom

This is the last cherry blossom on this tree.

Suisenzoku

The suisenzoku, or daffodils, are blooming right now.

Asian Mountain Magnolia Blooming

This is the Asian Mountain Magnolia, I think they are called kobushi, which are just past full bloom. This picture was when they were just coming out.

Hanging in the Breeze

This was taken downtown in Nishikimachi Park.

High Key Blooms

I would like to have the time to go in and take out the branch behind the flowers.

Plum Blossoms in the 'Hood

At this point in the winter/spring transition, I was interested in anything I could see.

Ode to Nature

I tagged this as a cherry blossom, but I don't know what kind of flower it is. It was on a tree.

First Sakura of the Year

The first of the year.

Basking in the Sun

Back Lighting

I am going to be doing this a lot with flowers this spring.

The Daisey

The flowers are coming into bloom -- especially the ones inside.

Soft

When I was taking this, I had in my head a shot that would have shown the dandilion as the human eye would see it with  the seed fluffs showing all white on the outside of the flower. I wish the sky had been bluer so it would make the white stand out more.
