Nature's free bounty and useless extravagance had never appeared so fantastically beautiful as it did this spring. I had an uncomfortable suspicion that Nature had come to reconquer the earth for herself.”

Red tulips in a shaded area at the Rockefeller Greenhouse (Cleveland, Ohio). View looking across the sea of tulips at a part of the main greenhouse building in the background. It was a windy day, which always makes flower photography a challenge.

And a poem to go with this photo:
Red Tulips
By Don Iannone
they knew me
turned their heads
looked my way
made me turn mine
there we stood---
face to face
i loved them
first moment i saw them
bright red dresses
decked out to the nines
voluptuous vixens
dancing in the wind
a bit of déjà vu
soulful remembering
strangely familiar---
the smell of fresh baked bread
the sweet scent of lilacs
a springtime long ago
they invited me to dance
sing out with them
red tulips touch us deeply
especially on a warm spring day
when the sun holds death at bay
and each moment is an eternity
Bacteria and algae create the streaks of color on Orange Spring Mound. It is noticeably different from many of the other terrace formations nearby. Its large mounded shape is the result of very slow water flow and mineral deposition.

Wood Stork - Florida Wetlands - Palm Beach County U.S.A.
Very Large Colony/Flock ~ New Stork City ~ Spring 2019
~~~~~~~~ Big Florida Birds - In The Wild ~~~~~~~~~~
The wood stork is a large American wading bird in the stork family. It appears all white on the ground, with blackish-gray legs and pink feet. In flight, the trailing edge of the wings is black. The head is dark brown with a bald, black face, and the thick down-curved bill is dusky yellow. Juvenile birds are a duller version of the adult, generally browner on the neck, and with a paler bill. The bare head and the long bill, which can measure up to ten inches in length, render the wood stork distinctive from other large waders in its range.
Inmitten des Laubs des vergangenen Jahres zeigen sich die ersten Frühlingsboten! 🌱
Amidst the foliage of the past year, the first heralds of spring are appearing! 🌱
I just couldn't resist yet another shot of the rock. I see spring has indeed arrived - NOT! Still beautiful!
I saw those crocuses on the way home of photography walk. The last light of the sun hit them, before it vanished behind the hill and the houses. Due to the warmest winter on the record spring seems really early this year. I took this with my Sony A6300 and a Sony 55-210 mm, f/4.5-6.3 lens at 184 mm, f/6.3, 1/250 s, ISO 640 witch despite not being a proper macro lens can get a decent magnification.

Living in a boreal forest in Alaska - it's not hard to find spring greenery outside of your door. These are the needles found on black spruce trees in our beautiful state.
Good sunday, my friends.
As is almost ending my little challenge -March/31- for cheer you guys up until spring fully comes over, today I bring this country flowers, as cute as they are. What do you guys think?. I purchased them yesterday for a special project. Hope you guys like it.
Have a blessed week, thank you very much for your continuous support and beautiful comments,

Spring is making its way into Lapland slowly but surely. Weather is getting warmer day by day and long gone are the days with only few hours of daylight. Unfortunately, also trees have lost their beautiful snow-cover.
My two personal favorite times of the year in Lapland are fall colors and mid-winter. Still, there is something magical about the spring.

Last year I finally timed my Oregon visit correctly with the spring wildflowers bloom. Just seeing the fields and fields of balsam roots and lupines was a spectacle. Despite getting the flowers the weather gods frowned upon us NorCal folks as we brought nothing but mostly clear skies to the Pacific Northwest.
On our first morning up at Rowena Crest, a few small clouds managed to make a cameo but the main star was the balsam roots. I chose to get close and really emphasize this particular freshly bloomed flower. Hopefully this won’t be my last visit seeing these blooms.

This Red-headed Woodpecker was keeping an eye out for Spring. It is so great to finally have the days warming up and know that the worst weather is behind us for awhile.
Another shot from my trip to Hyde Hall Gardens on Tuesday morning. The weather has been beautiful this week :)

It's been a strange winter here- it did get a little cold for a few weeks, but has been much warmer than usual for the last 6 weeks or so. This appears to have convinced our flowers that it is Spring, since we have bulbs coming up all over that normally are not blooming by this time. So, the only reasonable response I can think of is to make a few portraits. This closeup is close to true macro, an image created from 10 images, which were combined in Helicon Focus in a process called depth of field stacking to create adequate depth of field at this level of magnification.
Spring is comong slowly. Some time i's so slow your not sure it's actually getting any closer.

It's ball season, and Ripley is ready to start training . . . like she needs any! If she misses, it's usually my fault due to a poor pitch. So glad it's spring!
