A friend made me a present of procosmia. I planted it in the garden. Looked up the species in this wonderful 2-volume book by Martyn Rix and Roger Philips. Tried my hand at drawing it.
Good thing to do on a hot day like this one.

Hier, en revenant des courses à Brin d'avoine, les parterres fleuris de la résidence m'ont interpellé quelque part. Le temps de ranger le frigo, je suis redescendu avec mon appareil photo pour une demie douzaine de captations entre ombre et lumière, net et flou, dont ces 2 photos du #diptyque #crocosmia #agapanthe #hortensia ..

Bonne fin de semaine, sans trop de cagnard… Ici ça va… Jusqu'à quand ?

It’s been a while since my last post, I’ve just not found the time between work, stalking wildlife, renovations and tracking down a specialty lens…

Here’s the first photo with the new-to-me lens that I’m truly proud of: a female ruby-throated hummingbird (colibris a gorge rubis, en français), sipping nectar from a fiery-red crocosmia flower at the cottage in Rawdon, Quebec.

Taken with Nikon D850, Nikkor 400mm f/2.8, 1/1250s, iso 400, handheld. Cropped, but otherwise unedited.

The Crocosmia is starting to flower.

(also lovely colours on the old CZJ 135mm lens)
