Spring is in the air! Soon to be gone are the overcast and cloudy days, the cold and rain. Flowers will be in full bloom.
I’m excited about the upcoming season as the world seems at its finest in the spring. By this weekend, we adjust our clocks and “spring forward”. While we do lose an hour of sleep, we gain an hour of sunshine. I’m looking forward to taking my trusty camera outside again and taking some pictures. I wish I could travel to Skagit Valley in April and spend some time at the Tulip Festival once again. Maybe we’ll make a trip just north of here, to Filoli Gardens in Redwood City. Tucked in fog country, the garden is a National Historic site where daffodils and tulips are currently blooming.
In the meantime, here’s a quick shot I took tonight (Canon 40D with a 100mm f2.8 macro and a Canon MR-14EX macro flash). While these are just ordinary pieces of candy, there’s something magical about them when shot up-close–you get to really see their vibrant colors and texture. It’s one of the reasons I love macro photography. I hope this entices you to go out this weekend and take some shots of your own. I sure will.
Skittles are an endless color stream of bite-sized rainbow happiness. So, enjoy the spring colors. Go out and shoot!
