The wildflower garden we planted last Spring is coming back on its own this year. We'll help things along and add more seeds to the bed, but it sure is nice to see another sign of the changing seasons. We relocated our bottle tree to be more visible from various vantage points in the yard and even from inside the house.
I captured this image using the Fuji GL690, the 100mm f/3.5 lens, and Ilford HP5+ film. Years ago I had one of these cameras, but it self-destructed in my hands on a shoot. I finally found a replacement that is in great shape for its age (50+ years at this point). I had forgotten how large a 6x9 cm negative is. I was pleased to get the wild flower in crisp focus and the out of focus areas look artful at f/3.5.
