You guys got green up there already? I'm envious.

It's mold from all the rain they get.

It's mold from all the rain they get.

Funny. Other places you learn that moss grows on the north sides of trees, and if you are lost in the woods you can use this as a compass to know your directions. But I swear, in the Portland area moss grows on all sides of the trees. No mother nature compass there.

This is a local landmark, but the sails have been off for the past three years getting refurbished. Now they're back.

I have no idea what this sign is about, and haven't bothered doing an internet search about it. I just thought it was odd.

Yay getting out for exercise and doing a little shooting on the side.

Same park today, but pulled the Auto-Yashinon 50/1.4 out this time. Not quite as sharp as the Hexanon 40/1.8, but the main thing I noticed is that it's significantly cooler color.

And while the trees are still mostly bare...

A few are starting to leaf out their bad selves!

We're getting some color from the grass, as well.

(The branch is from the high winds we've been having over the last week.)

I like this one in particular. Really need to try playing around with long exposures one of these days.

I did the research, and it seems to be a folk band. Cant listen to it as im at the dentist right now. But their marketing has worked for me allready.

A few B&Ws from this month, all with either the Lumix 50/1.8 or Sigma 50/2.

So, a riverside location semi-wasted by a lot of grey overcast.

I was going to say this was the best I could do for blossoms, but today's luck was a little better... in the legacy lens thread.

I go to Wichita a lot for work, and when I go I often stop by one of the local parks, home to the Keeper of the Plains statue. I've taken a lot of pics there, and to a degree they've been repetitive; there's only so many angles you can get.

But lord, I love those angles, and even if the shot's repetitive, sometimes the conditions are just So Good.
