Easter Sunday was a lovely spring day. It was warm and sunny, at least for most of the day. Later in the afternoon, clouds moved in. I used the dog walk to scout out the blossoms in my neighborhood to come back a bit later. It felt great to be out with my two cameras, the X-T1 attached to the TTArtisan 100mm lens and the X-E3 connected to the Auto Sears 55mm lens. Both lenses are capable of producing exciting bokeh.

I took the first two shots below while on a dog walk. I was surprised they came out so lovely, with two dogs on their leashes, eager to move around and find new things to sniff.

The crabapple blossoms have the sweetest smell—so lovely. Bees and other insects are also attracted to them, and the buzzing sounds have been more than noticeable. Spring is such a beautiful season, but it is not for allergies.
