A few Spring Minor flowers

[Joel_W]

After I finished my bird outing, I decided to take a little walk around the Grist Mill pond to see just what wild spring flowers were in bloom. Came across just 3 different plants, which by their size would be classified as minor spring annuals. So I decided to setup and take some pictures even though it was bright, contrasty light approaching high noon.

Nice job on all of these!

Eric, thanks for the kinds words, but the more I look at those two yellow follows, I don't know how I didn't correct those hot spots.

Nice job.. hard to shoot in that light!

Thanks Charlie. Between work, home, and family, I take whatever time I can to get out ( I try for one 1/2 day shoot per week). I've bought a white umbrella at my local Wallmart to help control that strong light I have to deal with. Even today, I planned on getting out for a 1/2 day as my work schedule calls for a 10pm to 7am in CVS drug store. Forecast was for a chance of morning showers, then partly cloudy with winds less then 10 mph. What I woke up to was Thunderstorms, winds to 50 mph, and on & off rain for the majority of the day. Given the two options I generally end up with, I'll go for the sunshine.
