I guess in all my years of photographing the bluebells I've finally run out of good puns for the title containing "blue" or "bell" - or the final bell has tolled on my puns. Sorry. I can't help myself I guess.
Anyways - I finally got myself out of bed to catch some early light and photograph my favorite spring wildflowers. I usually like to get down to Furnace Run a little earlier in the season to catch a more dense group of flowers and also to shoot some when they are still pink. It has just been a busy spring for me. The silver lining is that the trilliums were turning pink which I think is pretty cool.

Falling Bluebells

I'm so glad everything is greening up and our city is becoming pretty again.

Dew and Sun

I don't remember the name of these but I always love to shoot directly down on the them.

I don't know the names of these either but I love the little twisted ones that haven't bloomed yet.

Bells and Sun

I'm not anti-smart phone photography by any means - I shoot with mine all the time. But I will say the palette of colors from a nice camera sensor combined with Photoshop can't be touched by Instagram filters. ....and no "portrait mode" blur algorithms can compete with the shallow depth of field from a beautiful lens.

Some of the smooth rocks along Furnace Run covered with some river silt after the recent rains.

A few "pink bells" in the background there.


Some good computer desktop wallpaper right there!
