the way I see the world
I took my first 2016 visit to Filoli today. It was lovely, showing every sign of being a great year. The tulips weren’t out in full force although there were some, along with daffodils, but there are blossoms galore, and plenty of other things to shoot.
I don’t know what this tree is, but the blossoms sure were lovely.

I just read a comment where someone remarked on a person’s wonderful photos, saying the creator must have a great camera and lens!
Funny that the person who made the comment is a musician.
You all know where I’m going with that … um … right?
And now a very fine good morning to you!
Here … to apologize my snarkiness (which spell check suggests isn’t a word, wouldn’t you know) I offer a rose, two ways:
One Rose, Two Ways, 2.2.15 (I & II)
The images aren’t terrifically different … but they aren’t exactly alike, either. Sometimes I’m not sure just which way I want to show a flower. Or a scene. So I make a number of shots and usually find “The One”.
This time I just wasn’t sure!
