Florida Trip Photos in April, 2023

Here are 17 photos that I took on my trip to visit my sister in Florida. I took a few of the photos in a local park named Chestnut. Most of the flowers I took are n my sister’s yard. I had a wonderful trip.

Mustard Plants along N Guard Rd and Thornton Rd, California

I took these photos of mustard plant blooms along N Guard Road and Thornton Road on my way to Cosumnes Preserve. The last three photos shows some of the overflow of water from the Cosumnes River. It was a delightful spring sunny day.

Fall Colors near me in California

I took these six photos on a walk in my neighborhood in Stockton, California. There are some beautiful and vivid fall colors to be spotted here. The weather is great: cool and sunny.

July Flowers in the Neighborhood

I received a new Nikkor Z MC 105 f/2.8 last Friday. So I was curious to try it on my Nikon Z6 camera this morning. Here are some samples that I took with it of flowers in the neighborhood. For me, it seems to have great detail, nice color rendition, and good bokeh. The flowers include African lilies, society garlic, marigolds, day lily, and roses. Happy Fourth of July! Nature also puts on colorful fireworks too I believe.

Here are some photos of flowers near where I live in Stockton, California, that I took on a smoky hazy morning. Thus the sunlight was dffused allowing more details to be seen.
