Snow Joke
Rare late-April snowfall in Southern Ontario

We often get a brief snowfall in April here, but rarely this late in the month. As soon as I got up this morning I thought there might be some snow on flower opportunities, so I got my camera ready with the Squeezerlens to see what I could uncover.
Early in the morning all I could see out the window was flattened daffodils buried under a few inches of snow, but as the morning progressed and the snow began to melt, flowers emerged and picture possibilities bloomed — so to speak.
Shot with the Pentax 645Z medium format camera. Lens is a hand-built Squeezerlens from Germany. It’s a tilt lens using a fixed aperture Leitz Hektor 1:2.5/120mm enlarger optic. Here I used it mounted on a 645 extension tube to allow closer focusing for macro work.
