Kelson's Photos @kelsonv@photog.social

Hi, I'm Kelson (he/him), a hobbyist photographer in the Los Angeles area. I tend to shoot #cityscapes, #landscapes & #nature, and occasionally cosplay. Lately I've been taking a lot of nature photos for #iNaturalist and posting some of the better ones here & on Flickr (https://flickr.com/kelsonv).

I also have a general account on Wandering Shop (@KelsonV@wandering.shop) & more casual photos on Pixelfed (@KelsonV@pixelfed.social).

Green and purple flowers at a botanical garden. I can't remember what the plants are, but the purple puffballs appear to be mimosas.

A #swallowtail #butterfly, photographed using the classic technique of desperately following it with the camera and clicking the shutter when I hope it's pointing vaguely in the right direction to at least catch it in frame and it probably won't be in focus anyway but with luck it'll at least be identifiable and...hey, not bad!

(Otherwise I've basically given up trying to actually aim at butterflies when they're flying.)

This is the same place that proclaimed "We missed some of you!" when they reopened after the winter pandemic surge shutdown.

I think they've mostly been doing "patio" dining in the parking lot, but inside gathering spots have been slowly reopening over the last month or so as case rates plummet in California and vaccination rates climb.

And that's that!
