Tulip time at Longwood Gardens! I used the Sigma 105 macro, the Tamron 35 macro and the Sigma 65i with an A7riv. The Sigma 105 and Tamron 35 worked very well as a pair giving wide angle and telephoto closeups. The Sigma 65 was a little superfluous, but I wanted to try it out.

Deep within the pines, grows a lovely dogwood.
Birdie
Beautiful dogwood, Birdie. It's one of my favorite flowers, simple yet elegant. I got a shot of dogwood flowers this morning too, along with a few bird shots.
Took these during a cross-country ski trip this weekend. Old mountain farms (called "Seter" in Norwegian and "Fäbod" or "Säter" in Swedish). In the old days farmers brought their cattle there for summertime grazing. The mountain farms were mostly run by women and children, since the men were needed at the regular homestead for harvesting crops etc..
Took the first with CV 35mm/1.7 and the rest with CV 75mm f/1.5.
Looking upstream along the roadway running along and across Jordan Creek from the snow covered shade to the late afternoon lit snow covered far shore of the Creek.
Tripod mounted (Gitzo 1257LVL tripod with Fotopro E-6H Gimbal head) A7r and Leica R 28mm f2.8 Elmarit V2 lens.
ISO 100, f11, 1/40 second.

Playing with new to me 135 GM, this lens was not really in my wheelhouse but I stumbled on one with some minor scratches on the front element for a price that I could not refuse
