Spring has begun and magnolias have bloomed beautifully. I just mounted an old $20 Soviet lens to my Sony camera and took some photos. Check out the spring dreamy look! 🌸 Thank you for being there!
Gear:
• Sony α6400
• Jupiter-8 50 mm f/2 (KMZ, 1967)
• L39 to Sony E-Mount Adapter
Don't put this plant into ground as it's invasive to #VancouverIsland & best in contained/controlled setting. If you choose to grow it indoors - run a fan on plant, while misting it with water to simulate outdoor grow conditions twice/week.
Very similar to native oceanspray plants.
I was testing out my new camera lens and taking photos of these American Smoketree flowers. I didn't notice I had gotten a bee in the frame until later.
In another week, I will be harvesting hostas to cook/eat 👩🌾
My mixed perennials pot is bursting with new life. Tulips are starting to bud/bloom, columbine are growing new foliage & buds & my pruned burgundy lace cap hydrangeas are showing new growths 🥰
