Don't know if it is due to the warm weather, but there sure is a lot of wisteria in bloom this year. Although it is an invasive species, wisteria has been around a very long time, and many of us living in the South are used to seeing it make an appearance each Spring. Speaking of invasive, the unique rendering of the catadioptric lens has long been a fascination of mine, but it is quite difficult to get pleasant images with one, at least in my hands. I mainly use it as an inexpensive stand-in for a telescope, but I've once again been experimenting with it as a regular lens of late...
Tasting notes: Reflex-Nikkor 500mm f/8.
