Photo Retrospective iii

My photo retrospective continues with May-June photos. Are you exhausted yet?

May

There is a stand of birch tree across the river from the park that I am always attracted to. On this May day, I had my telephoto lens, so I suspect that I went specifically to get this photo. All too often the photo that I purpose to take doesn't work out very well, but I like this b&w photo along with the reflections.

Two days after the b&w photo ↑ I was in the mood for colour. I took myself on a little drive along the backroads. Green was bursting. I stopped by the roadside and snapped this photo. I love the fresh, spring greens.

On our anniversary, I had one of those unpleasant appointments with my urologist, one that I had to repeat two weeks later, and a week after that I was in for surgery. After this appointment, we stopped at Boston Pizza in Smiths Falls. As you probably recall, we often take phone snaps of each other across the table, but the window light seemed to make this better than many. It was a happy outing, celebrating our 54th anniversary, and I had just obtained some relief from the procedure.

June

June has to be the best month for flowers. Early in the month, I captured this macro with my phone. I remember that I was experimenting with a phone app other than the native camera app, one that offers more control. However, I usually just use the regular Apple app.

I think this photo of Sue might have been taken on our first little post-surgery and post-catheter walk. What a relief to be over that, if not forever at least for then. I presume this photo fulfilled one of Sue's photo prompts, but I can't remember what it was.

At the very end of June, I took my first round of bridge-light photos on the eve of Canada Day: the red and white being the colours of our flag. I am sure that you recall my several attempts since then and probably never want to see another, but this was my first post-surgery shoot with my big camera.

Stay tuned.
