Working back through time, today we have a second flush beginning in the rose garden. The Queen Elizabeth roses are defying the sweltering heat and dry weather. Here, the overcast day was not the best time to be out, but any time nature’s beauty reveals itself, I try to respond with a nice capture. Sometimes it happens.

The Leica S will be used once again for more than the floral portraits that were mandated throughout the pandemic. After more than three years of being housebound we are planning to be out and about, cautiously, but once again spending our time and energy outdoors shooting landscapes and urban portraits.
First light each morning is what I live for… I will begin working on a book on that topic soon.
For now, the Leica S is a joy to use if only in the garden as the morning light reveals more surprises for the coming day.

Back to work for me… stay tuned!
Coral pink is a very difficult color for digital. Sunrises always turn yellow from blown red channels. Nice to see it in abundance here.

Very nice, and with a Contax 140 lens!
Recent shot with the Leica S2 ... with a Contax 2.8/140
It certainly renders a creamy smooth bokeh, love it!

Queen Elizabeth bud with wings.

Given another day or so, the bud would present like all the ones before it. Different color. Different shape. Different presentation.
I am no longer surprised at how things change sometimes dramatically in the garden.

A very different use of the Contax 140/2.8 on a Leica S(007). Versatile lens!

The S 006 has been busy in Linda’s Garden as the 2023 season winds down. The previous two images were, at the time, days ago, believed to be the last blooms as cold weather was approaching. It was bitterly cold this morning with a brutal wind. 
However, another surprise occurred yesterday morning before sunrise. I watch the light in the garden daily and at different times, dreaming of the opportunity to capture some more rose presentations for the love of my life. She has always meant everything to me and is more precious to me than life itself.
This Francis Meilland Hybrid Tea rose presented in the twilight before sunrise yesterday. I never saw the bud, and never expected to see another bloom this season.
