I don't know if your new phone has this, but some have a focus lock feature where you can focus it first (e.g. on your finger), lock that focus with a "long press", then you can take your finger away and it'll keep the same focus. Very handy when the darn thing won't otherwise focus!

Beautiful combo!

Love that celandine / anemone side-by-side!

I made the switch this weekend and am very relieved to see the wild flower crowd over here!
