Working on photographing all my roses. Not as easy as it sounds. I've photographed NBA players in action, how much harder are roses? Photos of NBA games don't need to show fine detail. Light and shadow constantly shifting. Getting best angle on a flower means getting into pretzel position and holding it until breeze stops.
No digital fixes. I use a 1968 vintage Nikon F with 35 mm film.

You should post your pics in the "random pictures" thread here in the OT section.
edit- I see now that you said "no digital fixes" - so I guess that's not possible.

I get a CD along with prints so it is doable. Will be a couple of weeks since not all roses bloom simultaneously.

Tomatoes are getting there...
 
What is in back row on left? Where do you lived? Peppers and tomatoes look advanced for May.
 
We recently got under contract on a real estate purchase that will expand my garden nearly 10 fold. I'm going to go back and read this whole thread when I get some time, but I will undoubtedly be posting in here more. I'm going to have blueberries coming out of my ears, tell ya that much.

Deal is starting to seem like it's falling through due to a failed septic drain field. We have some room to negotiate but I'm like 50/50 that we will have to walk away. What a shame.

Sellers decided that our material findings do actually require repair (no shit), so we're back in the game. I'm glad we called their bluff because I plan on living at this place until they put me in the ground somewhere.
 
Red, white, and gold beets, broccolini, carrots, beet greens

Made it to the finish line. It's signing day! Gonna be house poor until our kids get started with school and both my wife and I are working full time again, but it'll be worth it.

Congrats. We did something similarish. My spouse has been home with the kids since my second born arrived. He is almost 4 now. It has been worth it but everything is such a tight squeeze at the moment with how expensive everything is.

Hope everything goes smooth! Moving is the worst, I plan on not doing that again lol. My friends last time said we wouldnt help each other anymore. Getting too old.
 
Bok choy, scallions, and Thai basil.
Also cress.
