Remembering our time in sunny Arizona last spring. This Blue-gray Gnatcatcher posed perfectly among the flower blossoms.

Anne spotted this tiny spring peeper on a wire fence in the front yard.
Tiny thing, maybe 1"(2.4cm) in length.
It moved around from plant to plant.
Pseudacris crucifer
The tiny spring peeper is tan or light brown in colour with a darker X-shaped marking on the back. The largest peeper on record was a mere 3.7 centimetres long. The breeding call of this species is a single, loud, high-pitched peep repeated over and over. A full chorus can be deafening up close and can be heard over a kilometre away. In large choruses, peepers will also trill, advising other males to keep their distance.

Spring is making an appearance on this mornings frosty dog walk with Toby, a quick snap with my ever present Sony RX100iv. Before you shout what about Oscar, yes I have two dogs but 99% of you will not know that. What the hell it’s my story). Well Oscar had walk number one while Toby slept on and by the time I brought Oscar back I could attempt to wake Toby up. He’s a grumpy sod in his old age, well aren’t we all, but he doesn’t like being woke to early now and regardless of it being better for me to walk one dog at a time at the moment, forcing Toby out of his cosy nest is a dangerous business.
Taking a little spring break from my city shots to post everything blooming right now...I just couldn't resist!! :))

It's that time of year when the weather is slowly changing and some mornings you can't tell whether it is still winter or if spring has at last arrived, but the new buds are bursting and soon the land will be covered with green - Yay!!

Spring flowers surrounded by snow. It has snowed since I posted the last picture. Its funny to see snow considering that only about a week ago it was nearly 30C.
About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF 50mm ƒ/1.8 II *Shutter Speed: 1/500Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/1.8 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 50mm (80mm Equivalent in 35mm Film)
I shot this handheld using live-view and manual focus because I didn't want to get my knees wet on the grass by using the optical viewfinder. I overexposed by two stops over the metered exposure. I opened the RAW image in ACR and increased the recovery slider slightly and also increased the blacks slider to make the dark parts of the flowers stand out more. I increased the clarity, and manipulated the tone curve slightly to maintain a high-key feel to it. I slightly saturated the yellows and the greens and opened the image in CS4 where I cloned out a few distracting weeds. I then converted to sRGB colourspace and saved as a JPEG to post online.

A pleasant afternoon at Burghead yesterday; walking on the beach and around the harbour in warm spring sunshine…

Patience is a virtue and I hope to embrace that as I wait for my Spring bulbs to push through the soil. Many shoots are already breaking through the rich loam, although Winter's weather is still willing to share low temperatures. Need I say...I'm counting the days until the garden is a riot of colors once again.
