It’s the most beautiful time of year here—so many things blooming! And while I do love photographing the dead or hibernating plants in the summer, the wildflowers in the spring are wonderful.
There were a few shots in this batch that I was disappointed in the result (I’m not posting them), and I had my extension tubes (for macro) on the camera when the hummingbirds were playing. Other than that, I was happy with this shoot.

I would like this one much better without that bottom flower, or if it was in focus with the others. But these little flowers are so pretty.

I love the color in the trees, too.

Save the best for last. This is my favorite shot from the morning:
