C'mon Spring

I am determined to love my 50mm as much as everyone else seems to.  Today I went out just knowing that my daffodils would be in bloom because everyone else's are.

Almost.  Both with the lens and the daffodils.  The autofocus just isn't what I dream of, but the depth of field is cool.  I'm going to keep making myself use it.

My mom has the most beautiful flowers in her yard.  I went out to take some pictures (this is the wonderful thing about Alabama in January - there are flowers and it's warm enough to walk around and take pictures).  Her daffodils and camillas were beautiful.

But, there was an extra treat.  Something unanticipated.  Honey bees were everywhere.  This one was just totally covered in pollen and was now cleaning himself off.  Very meticulously.

It was very cool

Took some time in Alabama to walk around outside and shoot whatever I saw.  Found some interesting things.  I took these daffodils with the EF24-70mm at 1/4000 at f/2.8.  Focal length was 70mm, ISO 400.
