Returned to blooms!

After being away for over a month it's lovely to return home and find some flowers in bloom.
My first Iris for the season, and the last of the daffodils which I put in a vase on the dinning room table.

I have been fiddling with my camera adding Saturation and Sharpening within the camera. I still haven't made up my mind what I exactly prefer as there isn't a great deal of difference on certain subjects, yet on others with different light there is a lot of difference, more so with the Saturation.
Some of the settings that are based in the camera I don't care at all, but I still use to get different effects.  Oh well, I will eventually make up my mind!
PS. These 3 photos have +1 Saturation, Sharpness 6 on the A setting.



The Magnolia.


The Iris in bloom today!

Black Swan - Australian Bush!

Today at a place called Jerilderie, NSW we stopped to have a bite to eat and I noticed a lone black swan on a lake. I have no idea why the tag is around it but it's there for obvious reasons.
Also at the same place is a bit of Aussie Bush.
