A Bird Visit
Yesterday we stopped off to visit the birds before we headed to the Yosemite Renaissance opening, to which a photo of Dan‘s had been accepted. The day started out beautifully and I look forward to working more on these and other photos. I just wanted to post these two quickly, though, as I like them even nearly straight out of the camera!

First Shot
This is merely my first shot of the day, and I’m hopeful some that follow this will be print-worthy. But a first shot is a first shot so up it goes!
I didn’t think I’d be doing any shooting on today’s walk: I’m preoccupied with the “stuff of life” and only took the camera knowing that IF I saw something that stopped me in my tracks I’d be angry with myself for leaving it at home.
A yellow magnolia did the trick.
I don’t recall seeing a yellow magnolia before. I’ve walked down the street on which this was made many times, but I guess I just never happened upon this tree in bloom before.
Clearly I focused more on the stamen and less on the carpels, and I prefer the latter as the focal point. Still, you certainly get the idea of the color here! The petals, by the way, are actually outer sepals and inner petals, known as the perianth.
