White oak leaves just opening up. They are soft and velvety to the feel at this stage. No harsh sun to scorch them at this stage of their growth. Love spring! and its beauty
Town houses reflected on the Art Gallery of Ontario building one fine day in Spring. The gallery was packed with viewers for the last weekend of the Leonard Cohen Exhibition.

I know it’s a very old fashioned flower, but I love lilac. Then again, I am somewhat of an old fashioned person, and certainly an old soul, so perhaps it suits me. I love lilacs for their delicate blooms, sweet scent and of course their delightful shades of purple. They are a true harbinger of spring.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 26th of May is "shades of purple", and I was immediately put in mind of the lovely lilacs I saw in some of the old fashioned cottage gardens that I sometimes see on my walks. Whilst it is autumn where I live now, I just happen to have a photograph of a beautiful lilac bearing several shades of purple in my photo archive, taken on a lovely spring stroll I took in October last year. Captured against a wonderfully clear azure sky, I thought it most suitable. I hope you like my choice for the theme and that it makes you smile!
Syringa is a genus of twelve currently recognized species of flowering woody plants in the olive family or Oleaceae called lilacs. These lilacs are native to woodland and scrub from south eastern Europe to eastern Asia, and widely and commonly cultivated in temperate areas elsewhere.
“Ah, spring is coming!” And God knows, when spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise."

This is officially my first day of spring 2016 image. The scene was bursting with colour where most places were dull as we went for a Sunday hike. The ice lay in thin sheets like shards of glass broken among the reeds and bushes. We actually heard them crashing off the branches with the warm sun as we stood there. Spring is on its way!

Each time the northern lights shine in our spring night sky, I think it might be the last of the season, because the night is no longer very dark. I had to darken and vignette this photo to showcase the cosmic display.
....so here's the deal.... for some reason, our weather can't seem to understand that it's time for flowers to bloom OUTSIDE.... it has snowed every day this whole week!!! So I thought I would have the flowers I bought at Costco yesterday do a "Spring Flower Dance", sort of like a "rain dance!" I don't know if it will work.... but I had the time of my life dancing with these luscious Ranunculus.....
Happy Weekend!!!! xoxoxox
A shot from last year how I long for Spring as I look out on another dreary January day.
This caring parent bird allowed me to get up closer to these birds than ever before, seemingly determined to distract me away from its young brood.
The chicks had long since sensibly disappeared into the long grasses, so I was more than happy to spend a few minutes in the company of this beautiful bird.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
With only minutes of daylight left we spot the first Crocus flower of the year in bloom (in my garden). This flower let’s me know that spring is right around the corner.
Spring sets on Ireland as the rivers in the Comeragh mountains begin to freeze....makes sense..in March.

Seems like the clocks going forward have triggered spring at last, some gorgeous colours from yesterday evening.

In a spring fever I headed off to a local camera store to lift the spirits after all the recent snow and rain and generally dreary weather. A few dollars later I emerged triumphant clasping a Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD...no trip to the doctor required.
Tested this out around town today and it's so much sharper than the 18-135mm kit lens that I bought with my D80 several years ago.
Here's Mr & Mrs Cardinal on my deck sharing their dinner. It's true love. I know they've been together for 7 years at least. They are so sweet.
If you like the techie stuff I shot this at the maximum focal length of 270mm at an aperture of f/6.3. Not quite with the sun directly in front of me but pretty close, so the exposure was adjusted down -1.3. I'd expect the sharpness to fall off a little at the maximum focal length but I was pleased with what I got at 200 ISO and with the camera set on aperture priority / matrix metering. Next time I'll shoot on shutter priority as these birds move around quickly.
