May Flowers

Since all trips were cancelled I decided to do some photography around the house. I have a lot of nice plants going right now. Some edible and some ornamental, in pots, raised beds and straight in the ground. They came from friends and family, some I’ve had for years, some bought recently or started from seeds and some came with the house. I identified the ones I know.

I was also experimenting with the portrait setting on my phone. It basically tries to focus on the subject and blur out the background. It is imperfect and of course I could do this manually but when it works it has a nice effect. Works best when your subject is solid (like an actual portrait of a person, not leggy plants).
