My first Poppy of the season. They are really showing up on the West side of the Valley. I think this will be quite a year for wildflowers and I’m looking forward to the next few months.

This may be a daisy. I’m no expert on flowers, but I love the Arizona wildflowers.

A morning spent at the Bellevue Botanical Garden in WA State. Such a beautiful garden and free to the public.

Just a tiny bit of Owl Clover, but maybe it means there will be more soon. White Tank Regional Park today.

Mexican Amberwing – Found in SW USA and Mexico. A tiny thing, I usually fine them in groups. My favorite dragonfly.

Dragonfly. A favorite subject of mine to photograph.

A contrast in colors.

Flower at Bellevue Botanical Garden. Natural light on a cloudy day. Straight out of the camera with only a crop.

Micro photography, by my window. Inside on another extremely hot day. Fuji X-T3 with Lensbaby Velvet 56, texture added in Photoshop.
