Hello all. It's great to see this place rolling along so swiftly, almost like in the Olden Days! I've been away from the thread for a while, using my non-work hours to pursue my re-engaged interest in guitar playing. However I have recently been provided with a substantial increase in non-work hours, having been temporarily laid off my job as of last Thursday (mine is not a job that can be done from home, and most of my clientele needs to be able to travel to access my services, so layoffs were inevitable; I am hopeful that it will not last too long). So I now have time to pursue more than one interest, and I can dust off my MFNG and get them back into action, though that will have to wait until after this holiday weekend as our provincial government has asked us not to descend in our holiday hordes on the various outdoor spaces and thus transgress social distancing guidance. In fact, they've even taken the notably drastic step of closing the provincial parks as further discouragement. These are strange times indeed!
So here are a few photos of Bird of Paradise flowers that I shot last November in Rafael's neighbourhood of San Diego County, California. All are brought to you courtesy of the Fuji X-T2 and the 28-50 f/3.5, official companion to the Leighton lens.
