Fons, this is a nice close up of lavender.

John, the rain gives nice atmosphere to it!

April 12.  I head a twitter in the Japanese plum tree next to my place and found this great tit (Parus minor).  Shot with Ai Nikkor 200/4.0 (@f8.0) on Panasonic GH5 (@ISO400).

Sorry for the low quality of the image which was very heavily cropped (roughly up to the equivalent of 2000mm, I guess).

Francis, thank you.  I don't understand the reason for the discrepancy between its English name "great" tit and the Latin scientific name (Parus "minor").   ::) ::) ::)

The bird on your picture is the Japanese tit, or Parus minor, according to Wikipedia.

Bent, thank you for the direction.  The further look into wiki solved my question!

Large trees move slowly in growing leaves...

Nice to see a tree (if blurry :) ) that hasn't been topped.

If you don't like a person teach them to see bad kerning. If you really don't like a person teach them to see trees that have been topped or tipped.

Palo Verde in Bloom, Tucson, Arizona.
D850 with 105mm f/2.5 AI (chipped) at f/2.5, 1/500 sec, ISO 64.

Another photo from the neighborhood a few days ago. Palo Verde trees have interesting green bark and bloom vibrant yellow. Some years the blooms are particularly impressive. Unfortunately it was very windy today, so I don't think I will find much left this year in that regard.

Fons, this is a nice close up of lavender.

Muscari armeniacum actually Akira, too early for Lavender to be in flower, the compression of view may have suggested this i suppose. ;)

Fons, thank you for the correction.  The second look tells that the flowers are a bit too big and too blue for lavender.  :D
