...on my lunch-break...
Yesterday hit a record-high for Tucson: 91 degrees--about 20 degrees warmer than 'normal.'
And so things are in bloom earlier than normal.
Yesterday afternoon, I spent a few minutes with the camera in our little yard, experimenting with macro shots...
...freaky up close, eh? Reminds me of the head on one of those Chinese lunar new-year dragons...or some undersea creature...it's a lemon bud just before blossoming...
...another shot of the lemon bud, along with more tightly-closed newer buds...
...orange blossoms, just opening...too bad no one has come up with a way to transmit smells on-line; the fragrance is heady, and our trees are full of bees...
...the common hibiscus...intense in the afternoon light; the stamens are otherwordly up close, no?
...and as intense as the color is, I like hibiscus in b&w; the texture really takes center-stage...
