Photobygms,
I did a little reading. Not all sumacs are poisonous. Some varieties are used in foods and medicines.
The winged sumac is not toxic like poison sumac is..

Photobygms,
Thanks. I've been to this field previously. The people cut these flowers and then pay for them. There's other playground activities for the kids and they sell food & refreshments. It was a fun thing to do.
Steve,
I don't know what type of plant it is (without you telling us), as I don't recall seeing any where we live. But it sure looks nice. I just read we have a sumac variety growing along the Columbia River Gorge.
Subject: Mural
Today I saw this neat mural I thought I would share. I guess it means I took a picture of wildlife too, without using the Tamron 150-600mm lens. 😀 I hope you like it as I did.

Hi Digirame, Thank You.
Still dodging the rain, I actually found a decent couple of days.
Hi Digirame,
Those Lavender fields look beautiful and it looks like a popular place to visit with the amount of cars in the car park.
Hi Steve,
I've never seen a bush like that, it looks beautiful.
Great find and nice composition! What I find very fun in instances like this is trying to create some illusion of DOF, either by chosing a perspective not quite straight on, or by tilting the lens. I'm well aware that most people don't run around with their manual lenses attached to tilt/shift bellows like I do... 😂 but of course there are also t/s lenses, adapters and things like the lens baby system out there.
Of course in a case like this it's also perfectly viable to do that in post, as you're dealing with a flat image anyway:
Mocha,
Thanks. Yes, you are right. It is very popular as you noted by seeing the cars.
Simplejoy,
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the composition. It was a smaller section of the mural that I picked out.
I think about the depth of field differently. Often when taking pictures of wildlife, I'll try to find backgrounds that are not distracting (like water or sky etc.). Or sometimes the background might be a tree trunk or bushes that keep everything in the photo sharp. Like when I was at Lake Tahoe this summer I encouraged that bird to move higher on a branch without leaves and with the sky as a background.
Very nice shots.
I always do wonder why people do that with their shoes..
Your shots are like always simply superb. I can't decide which I like more.
@mocha123 I like all your shots very much, but the fruit fly photo is amazing. I also really like your bridge pic.
Did you know: fruit flies actually feed on the alcohol produced by rotting fruit, not the fruit itself.
Great photos Digirame. I always enjoy seeing your flower pics.
Dunlin,
Thanks. This festival provided for me something a little different, where I show a farmer's field of flowers.
The farmer also grew Christmas trees, as seen in this photo.

Dunlin,
Cool photos...great subject matter. I liked seeing these, especially the Emu.
What a beautiful bird, great shot!
Definitely caught my eye, nice image.
Looks more like a Ca-shoe tree! 😂
Cheers
