Every year I look forward to the arrival of spring. The hills become green and the changing weather kicks up unexpected storms. After a dry winter I was losing hope for a great year shooting in the hills. However a spring surge in storms made it one of the most memorable springs in the California hills. A few days shy of spring equinox, Aaron and I headed to the hills while a patch storm system was growing over the hills. We had some drizzle and some rainbows but the real show began when the setting sun ducked below the low cloud deck and set the hills alight. With the light and shadow play, these hills reminded me of sand dunes, but green.

Saturday Self Challenge
Coils and springs
My husband has in his workshop a box of assorted springs, just in case he ever needs one ! I don’t know if he has ever needed one over the years but they certainly came in handy for this challenge. I’ve done a bit of PP to make them look a little more interesting.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Spring Beauty (claytonia virginica) is a common little wildflower found in fields, glades, the forest floor and sometimes yards. It is about the size of a dime (20mm), with some being pale purple and others like this one, with more white. All have the pink anthers.
I still have not found a morel this spring, although I'm hearing family and friends tell of 5-gallon buckets full being gathered. I was surprised to see some indian paintbrush a couple days ago, but didn't get a photo. I thought it was too early for it!

I stand before you fully flawed and unbecoming.
I stand before you covered in my own filth.
I come before you humbly surrendering.
I come before you in complete guilt.
I kneel before you, at your throne.
I kneel before you, fully known.
Oh Lord, my Savior.
Oh Lord, my Grace.
You've taken my filth and restored my faith.
Thanks so much for your kind visits and favs. I hope you all have a wonderful week and keep Spring in your heart.
Today I observed the most attractive little wild bee - metallic gold colors, long haired, green eyes. The plant is chamomile (Matricaria recutita) and I think the flower gives an idea of the size. As usual I have no idea of the species of this bee, but it was a pleasure to watch. A cool and windy spring afternoon.

Spring is in the air as BNSF SD70MAC's Nos. 9646 and 8981 accelerate north up the middle of Atwood Street in Longmont, Colorado, on June 3, 2019.
This is a tiny flower that only blooms in the early spring. The colors are a welcome sight at that time of the year!
I just want it to be spring already and I needed a new profile picture. So here is my Flickr debut! :3

A Spring allergy irritant in my own front yard. Too bad really, because these remind me of a ballerina's tutu.
When I was in California two weeks ago, I was able to get in some high altitude hiking. No evidence of spring up there
