31/366 - Goodbye January

 Goodbye January
 As January comes to a close, I remember how lucky I am to live in a temperate zone. Although we get a bunch of rain, the brilliant sunshine, blue skies, January front yard flowers and green trees that result are well worth it!

25/366 - Blooming Comparison

I found a few lone blooms today (the rains really have the plants confused) and captured them with both the iPhone and my Nikon...just to see the difference/similarities....


 Blossoming
The rains seem to have jump started Spring here on the Lost Coast of California.
I really like the Depth of Field the Nikon brings to the table here, along with the smoother background (lots less noise)

Bloom Comparison
The iPhone brings the ability to shoot macro without changing lenses and is easier to 
carry in the rain!
