Trees and other plants are becoming very green in Prescott Az. Of course it is spring, and we had a lot of rain this winter.

Indian Paintbrush

Apple Blossom

I took both of these this morning in our yard. Shot with a Nikkor 200mm macro lens, D600 camera. I took multiple shots with varying focus points and then focus stacked them in Photoshop to get a much deeper depth of field than the macro lens gets for each one.

A couple we know is in the process of moving to Prescott. A few weeks ago when we had sleet here D. asked me “Is sleet normal in April?”. Well, I guess so. Variability is normal in the spring in Arizona. Sunny and warm one day, sleet and hail the next. And wind, lots and lots of wind here in the spring. And maybe dead calm the day after that.
