 | After yesterday's experiments with depth of field I went out for my walk hoping to see something that would lead to an inspired use of this new understanding. I don't think I succeeded with either of these photos but it was so nice to see some blue sky and some flowers that it doesn't matter. I don't know what this flowering bush is called but any plant that can put out such clusters of spring in mid-December gets my respect. |
What a beautiful flower! I wonder what kind of plant this is? I wouldn't mind having a few in my yard.
ReplyDeleteAnother great example for depth of field. It's to friggin cold in my area of Canada to have flowers blooming outside.
ReplyDeleteThis is a Viburnum bodnantense, wonderful, fragrant (next time you see one, check it out) one of the best winter shrubs. More info here:

Oops,well this is an example of how botanical identification is something that is not easy.. I should have looked at the leaves in the larger photo more carefully.. This is a very fragrant winter shrub, Skimmia japonica. More info on this list of winter flower plants:

Normally it wouldn't flower until January, was it near the water??
