Just how good are the pictures that my new little camera takes? This morning, I put an extension tube on my D80 and took a few pictures of the dahlberg daisies that I photographed Thursday with the L22.

Cold
Already tired of the summer heat? Here’s a picture I found in my old toy camera this morning. According to the file information, it was taken Christmas day last December.
12,000,000
My new toy camera arrived today. It cost about half as much as the little Canon I got about five years ago and is more than twice as capable. The images are 4,000 by 3,000 pixels, which is larger than those my DSLR takes. The picture above is cropped but otherwise unaltered; click on it to see it at actual size. The image quality is remarkable for the price. The flowers are dahlberg daisies; each daisy is about 3/4″ across.

Hanami, part two
The Kwanzan (or “Kanzan”) cherry (Prunus serrulata) was at peak bloom today at the botanical garden.
Shades of lavender
I visited Botanica again this afternoon and took a lot of pictures, which I’ll upload to my gallery later. On the way home I spotted a couple of other noteworthy floral displays: a Chinese empress tree, above, and a wisteria.

I spent the weekend in Atchison. Here are a few of the pictures I snapped.
Tomorrow is Easter …
… so if I want to post a picture of a Lenten Rose, I’d better do it today.
This is a good year for flowering trees such as magnolias:
Hanami
It’s blossom-gazing time, with sakura blooming in Japan. I did a little blossom-gazing myself yesterday at the local botanical garden, which has a few flowering cherries. Wichita had enough serious cold weather this past winter to trigger profuse bloom. Instead of a blue tarp, I brought my camera.
I arrived one windy day too late to catch this one at its prime.
Definitely spring
First in a series
Horticulturally, this year is running about three weeks slower than last year. Plants that were in full bloom a year ago are just coming into bud now. Nevertheless, I did find some color yesterday on my first visit to Botanica this year.
