An Obscure Native Weed

Crumby has posessed the Canon 10-22mm lens for a spell. Generally, the spell has not worked. Fretful that the lens is no count (autofocus is off), Crumby has experimented.
But now push has come to shove. Cause Crumby has an important mission upcoming. And he needs to immediately figure out if the lens is no count, or we are dealing with user error.

Unlike many, Crumby wants the Canon 10-22 for wide angle shots of flora that are difficult to photograph with other lenses for a vaiety of reasons, possibly more user error. Also, Crumby figured a wide angle lens would do well on the bigger serpents crossing roads or trails. Alas, Crumby has not encountered any of those phenomena.



















Well, here we espy one of the littlest of all the wildflowers at the CB. It is Hedyotis greenmanii also known as Houstonia parviflora. The associates are the vetch, Vicia ludoviciana or leavenworthii, whatever, and the celery, Apium leptophyllum, favored by swallowtail caterpillars because it is so delicious.

Crumby is fairly happy with this picture. Si. That's cause the peekture shows a generous swath of Hedyotis greenmanii habitat. Yet when an average person magnifies the view, the flowers remain fairly sharp. This is close to what Crumby is seeking.
