New leaves (not flowers 😉) of a Pieiris Japonica: it belongs to the ericacee family

.. dogwood is our Provincial flower (British Columbia) -- but do not see it very often where I'm located - have enjoyed seeing a ground variety often via forest trail walks.

This year they are very late. I have one that is starting just now

Those are beautiful, almost look like fabric!

Crocuses have popped out in the past couple of days and today Aspen leaves are just beginning to unfurl. Both images are from the little Oly TG-6. Close-up setting at 18mm (100 eq).

I've been practicing more ICM. It's kind of addictive and also kind of frustrating. I'm slowly starting to get the hang of what areas might make an interesting image, but as happy as I am that our trees are green and not brown now, I'd love to try this somewhere that has more color to it.

Images 1 and 5 are like oil paintings. Beautiful works.

I like ICM but feel a bit silly shaking the life out of my camera in public 🤣

.. first the flowers, then the berries (= salmonberries for these bushes) to come -- observed during park walkabout early this morning.

I used a water-colour effect on my old camera (Sony a6400). I tried other effects on apps I have on my iPad but weren't what I was looking for, not even this one to be sincere but at least is different.

Fantastic! I love this POV and a different take on the theme.

Also, I don't think I knew you were part of the L crowd. Super fun.
