Plant Happiness – 2012
Pictures from my annual trip to the Northwest Greenhouse with my Mom.

More from the Northwest Greenhouse “tomorrow” – “nudge-nudge. wink-wink.”
This year’s iris pictures came from my Mom’s irises, my Grandma’s irises, and some irises next to a small country church in the middle of nowhere.
The rest of the Mad with Joy – 2012 Series:
I have to confess that my hatred of irises is starting to wane a bit, but I would still never plant any in my yard.
I added another lens to my arsenal recently. For many a moon I have longed for a fisheye lens. However, for a lens of limited use, the prices are often astronomical. However, after doing much research I did find a few that were priced reasonably. Not one this guy’s bank account would call cheap, but certainly affordable. Don’t worry, Naima and Foster won’t be missing any meals.
This is the first picture I ever took with this sweet baby:
Here are the technical specs on the new toy:
f/Stop Range: f/3.5 – 22
Minimum Focus Distance: 12″
Angle of View: 180 degrees
Groups/Elements: 7/10 (hybrid aspherical lens)
Length: 2.95″
I have to admit, I’ve already fallen in love with the little guy. If you are wondering, the next planned equipment upgrade will probably be studio lighting. However, this might be a little bit. I have to finish painting the studio.
Speaking of which, who wants to help paint the studio?
