The Dogwoods are blooming in Yosemite valley as of 4/18/2015, by the hundreds, a great time to visit, they should be working their way in to higher elevations over the next week, still time to go and see this beautiful spectacle.

Glacier Point also opened early this year due to low snow pack.

By using a wide aperture and an EF 25mm Extender, I got in very close to shoot this iris in my yard, creating an abstract macro image.

The EF 100 f/2.8L IS lens is one of the best macro lenses you can put in front of a Canon camera, it has exceptional micro contrast and color rendition along with some serious resolution, its a fine  example of Canon updating one of its lenses for the digital era.
