Photos taken by Raoul Pop
This little daffodil was spreading its pure petals back in mid-March, signaling, and unequivocally so, that spring had arrived. This was one of the first days I had my Canon EOS 30D and 100mm macro lens, and that’s when I realized, also unequivocally, that I’d stepped onto new photographic terrain, and didn’t want to go back.
Aaron Johnson, the creator of What the Duck, has apparently seen this post of mine, where I talk about image theft. He’s just sent me an email to let me know of today’s WTD, which handles the issue of watermarks and image theft in that wonderful, funny way that I’ve come to love.

I’ve liked these flowers ever since I was a child. Even though their fragrance isn’t pleasing, I’ve always thought they more than made up for that with their beauty: their soft, velvety petals and their saturated colors. Ligia bought me a few last week because she knew how much I liked them. Here’s one of them. Look how charged with pollen they are!
Sometimes, Ligia manages to pry me away from the computer long enough to take a walk around the neighborhood. Of course, I take my camera along. This is one of the photos I took this past Thursday, during one of our dusk walks. We live in North Bethesda, MD.
