The Betty Boop rose is off to a good start in 2024.

My unabashedly favorite flower subject is also the easiest one to get to. It’s in my backyard.

The Betty Boop adds blossoms almost continuously all summer and well into fall. It will even add blossoms after the first and second snow storms of early winter. In this image-grabbing episode I made over a thousand images done in extended depth of field (EDOF) or “focus stacking” mode if you prefer. Takes awhile to process all those images.
