Memorial Day weekend was a washout in Colorado this year. It was rainy and gray all three days. I haven’t seen a holiday weekend this gloomy since I left Connecticut in 1992. But the drizzle and light rain did provide some great conditions to photograph flowers. I photographed some flowers in my backyard and then headed to the Denver Botanical Garden. It was peak bloom for iris and many peonies so there was no shortage of subjects to point my camera at. I used mainly my Laowa 2x 100 mm macro lens and my Sony a7rV camera. Enjoy!
