I don’t have a May lily to share today, but I do have a sunny Narrow-leaf Mule’s ear. I made this image up in the mountains above Santa Clara Valley last Sunday evening.

Thanks for the flower. May Day is a special day to me, and that is a perfect celebration of its early spring magic.

  🙂 May is just a wonderful month isn’t it! It’s my birth month, my daughter’s birth month, the days get warmer, and longer, there are flowers everywhere, and the hills around the valley I call home are green! 🙂

      Thank you! I see why May Day is so special to you now. I get it! I was born on Mother’s Day so it’s doubly special to me. Unfortunately my birth date doesn’t fall on Mother’s Day every year. 🙂

Like the lensbaby effect. When I shot with my old OM1 camera I adapted a pictrol diffuser (used on the darkroom enlargers) to my lens and got a dial your soft focus effect like the lensbaby. Doesn’t work on digital cameras though.

  I have a soft focus filter I used to use before I got the LensBaby.
  
  Your OM cameras sure do have some neat features!
  
  Thank you so much for the “like” and comment!
