Still testing the new 85mm lens. These photos were taken in fairly bright sunlight, from a few feet away each time, and mostly one shot only, except for the daffodils, because I was hoping to get that fly. I continue to be happy with the new addition.

| White hellebore, growing in a sunny spot. Mine, in the shade, are still in the bud. |
 |
| Purple-pink crocuses, in the shade. |
 |
| One solitary crocus in an abandoned garden. |
 |
| Daffodils against the cement wall of the new church next door. With a fly. |
 |
| Cropped photo, with the fly still there. This was taken from the far side of the landscaping strip, about 2 to 3 metres away. |
 |
| Heather. They've got full sun and a warm wall next door, so everything is thriving. |
 |
| Oregon grape, just getting started in our semi-shade plot. |
 |
| And a tall tree, which will later convert a semi-shade area to full shade. Not for a few weeks yet, though. |
Now, if it would only stop raining - again! - I could take the lens down to the beach and field-test it.
Beautiful spring colors! :-) I am so glad spring is just around the corner! We have also had a few spring blooms - see my post from yesterday!
