Lovely shots, every one. I miss being outdoors to shoot these days. We managed a brief break from being fully home bound to be house-bound at the beach. Helped to recharge a bit.
Also gave me an excuse to play around with the 24GM. It is a lovely, lightweight lens, but for some one like me whose natural preference for focal length is around 100mm, 24 is REALLY wide. Fortunately, the close focusing and wide aperture really make for a lot of artistic possibilities.

Approaching the rendezvous point with food tucked underneath as gift - what a great and loyal provider... BTW, the keeper rate of the A7r IV in combo with G 200-600mm lens is really great, even for BIF, like this one. Yes, the FW was updated, BTW.
We took a trip to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania for a quick getaway. Longwood is of course known for its flower displays, but its fountains are also spectacular. The last time we had been there, four years ago, most of the fountains were undergoing a massive restoration project. They did a great job.
I tried out a variety of my wider lenses for them, the Tamron 35 f/2.8, the Sony 24 GM and the Voigtlander 40. Here are some of my favorites, and we didn't even see them illuminated at night.

This was featured on 'Monty Don's American Gardens' last year too! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000d2gm
You took some great pictures of the fountains. It's really fun to see it again. Thanks!
