My garden is in full bloom, and the new enchanted garden is exciting. The whole ensemble is so peaceful and serene that it is a little hard to motivate myself to do much, other than tending the garden. At the same time, my models are blooming, and I don’t want to miss photographing the glorious turns of the flowering seasons! Right now the poppies and ranunculus are in full bloom. Next week, who knows?

Shown below: using the remote tether on my Leica M11P for a “selfie” in the garden. A friend of mine refered to my “obvious contentment,” which “seems to come in equal parts from the environment you created and capturing and communicating the environment digitally.”
