Small Gestures

Meanwhile in Frogland: it rains. A lot. Since yesterday non-stop.

But I am so lucky because I had really nice people coming over to spend the Saturday night with us. Really good friends! And they brought me a nice flower bouquet (this is something I do appreciate in Frogland: people are very attentive and nice). It is full of spring flowers but what I like most are the tree branches, covered with small flower buttons, providing me with small surprises every day: a new flower comes out!

Yesterday were all the small buttons closed and today, tadaaaaaa, a lot of them got open and when I saw it against the window light, man, I couldn't stop my shaking hands from getting the camera and composing a couple of pictures.

No no no, this is easy. Taking flower pictures it's very easy. I love it! This one is great: the pale rose, the brown of the branch crossing the image, and I love f1.4... I need to control myself because f1.4 can be quite messy! But here, it worked well: a very narrow depth of field takes care of this soft appearance. No sharpness: soft like spring!

I love to photograph flowers and spring is coming! May be I should invest on my macro lens!
