In the valleys spring has started to arrive with some early flowers and signs of greenery. At slightly higher altitudes one can still do cross-country skiing. These are from recent trips in varying weather.
#1-3 are from CV 40/1.2 and the rest 7Artisans 75mm/1.25.

At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
A couple of seascapes from a little bay I recently discovered close to home. Sony 12-24G with Nisi filter, CPL and 8 stop ND filter. Unfortunately I couldn't avoid the tripod shadow at this time of day.
Tried the a7R4 with Zeiss ZE 50/1.4 lens on one of my favorite oil paintings, 56x60 inches. Each square is 2". The lens isn't a copy lens by any means, but it does have wonderful color characteristics. Shot hand held with available side lighting in garage, balanced and straightened in LR.
I've been watching a family of 5 baby flycatchers for a few days down at our neighborhood creek. Last night's pic came out looking pretty blue toned thanks to the weird dusk light, but I got a better peek at them today. Had to shoot them from across the creek, hence the fairly messy branches and framing. All with R3 and 100-400GM.
Yesterday, all 5 lined up:
Today, mom catching lunch for them, look at those butterfly bits flying!!:
