I'd love it if I could figure out how to see less gay soft-core here. Or even none at all. I don't know how it's ended up that 1 of every 5-10 things I'm seeing here are pictures of nearly naked guys, but I'm not interested, and it stresses me out.

So my back injury decided that this week should be a miserable nightmare for me...

You might be able to send me a message now. I don't really talk much, though.

Birds move too fast for me, and I've really only got a short lens right now. Flowers don't move without wind. I had some kind of camera when I was really young, but not for long. I only started taking photos about a month ago, with a phone. Got the Nikon 4 or 5 days ago. Complete beginner. You?

This one is from the sidewalk next to my apartment complex. There is a wetland restoration area there, with a fair variety of plants. I think I've taken at least 100 pictures of that one flower at this point. This is the first time I've gotten a close-up of a bee to turn out, though.

Thank you. I'm glad you like them. I'm using a Nikon 1 V1 with an adapted c-mount 25mm f/1.8 risespray lens.
