Hello Everyone and Welcome to #alwaysaflower.
Today I'm Presenting an Encore Presentation of the Columbines from Yesterdays Sunday Edition.

@dswigle, Stop by Anytime to Find Your Happy Place.

I was in the Park's neighborhood this morning as the Sun was burning off the morning overcast. Perfect !!
Everyone seemed to really like the Columbines I posted Yesterday so I thought I'd give you more... much more =)

Had a much softer morning light today and I was able to capture more of the subtle colors and detail in the flowers today.

I was also empty for most of the time I was there and No Wind. WoooHoo

After I spent over 2 hours snapping away I looked at my image count... 237... O.O
More than half of those were of the Columbines. It took a wile but I managed to choose the best 25 or so lol, lots of images in this one. I tend not to skimp on the images as I usually have a truck load.

I'm just wandering around the garden taking shots of the different beds from all angles.

All images taken with my Canon EOS Rebel T7.
All the wider angle shots and a few of the close ups are taken with the FS 18-55mm lens.
Most of the close ups taken with the Sigma 150-600mm C telephoto lens at just beyond minimum focus distance. (about 12 feet away)

Really liking the Sigma to isolate and and zoom into flowers. It also allowed me to get close ups of blooms that I couldn't reach with the other lenses I use.

I did even notice the pale yellow ones yesterday in the afternoon sun.

There are 3 or 4 different types and shades of purple ones here =)

I caught this pale pink one in the shade of the Wishing Well and I think I was able to capture it nicely.

The hot pink ones are popping extra pink this morning.

The Columbines are still opening up and spreading out for the most part.

Told ya there wee a lot of images in this post lol.

I'm also selecting a half dozen of these images for #monochromemonday, one version in black and white and one in Sepia. I still need to write the words and post it a little later.
