Spring times can be so beautiful! Again in my new short dress in the woods.

A spring time visit to one of the beautiful, stylish public gardens in Tokyo can inspire you to dream.

That's the color these leaves come out as in the spring. Reminds me of fall.

...balanced precariously on the edge of a brand new spring hosta leaf...one of the joys of the season!

First glance of spring in Turku, FInland

Lovely to see the spring flowers again

Another vision of the same place, same flowers, same background, same exposure. A swirling, dreamy take on spring.

Sorry about previous post. The more I thought about it, the less I liked it. I apologize to anyone who saw it, liked it, and faved it.

Last stop before leaving Kentucky and wanted to take something with me. Never sure I'll be back this way again.

Over the last few days, I spent some time in Hitchcock Woods enjoying the sights of spring.

This vernal pond is actually a glacial feature. It is a depression, called a "kettle," that was scooped out by glacial activity. These depressions fill with water in spring and create habitat for reptiles, amphibians, insects and migrating ducks.

Happy Easter, everyone!

Here in Washington State, USA really been hit with Covid-19. Our family will stay at home until mid May, if not longer. I've been off work since March 13th. I'd rather stay alive than get this nasty virus , tho miss getting out to photograph our parks and wildlife refuge is closed.

Wishing you all good health and stay safe.

Thank you for your warm visits ~

I like the contrast between the sunlit fresh spring greens of the trees and the shaded screes.

Since this is the night we turn our clocks ahead.....damn daylight savings time! .....and this original photo was of Spring flowers, I though it an appropriate title.

172 332 trundles towards Spring Road station with the 10.26 Stratford-upon-Avon to Stourbridge Junction. The train is about to enter the concrete tunnel spanning the tracks, this unfortunate construction was a two storey car park for the adjoining Joseph Lucas Lamp factory at Shaftmoor Lane. After being stripped of it's assets by the new Japanese owners the factory was closed and later demolished, the empty useless carpark now is the only part that survives.

Wisconsin is crazy in the Spring here in central Wisconsin, USA. Last week we were all dodging tornadoes and last night we got 10 inches of heavy, wet snow. After blowing out the driveway I took a walk with the dog and discovered all kinds of damage to area trees. Cedar trees were bent over and snapped off, but not the spruce---they are much better adapted to heavy snows. Their branches just load up with snow and bend down.

I found these spruce trees that I helped plant in the early 70's loaded with snow. Just a few days earlier I took the below picture.

I used my Pentax K7 and Pentax 16-50mm lens, at 39mm, to make the capture. The ISO 200, aperture f/5, shutter at 1/160, and most important because of all the white snow the compensation was at plus 1.7 stops. Without this last adjustment the snow would be gray. Lastly, I converted it to black and white in Aperture 3.

September 1st heralded the official beginning of spring...and on that day I found this gorgeous viridescent leaf katydid taking a stroll. Had it not moved, I would have missed it completely due to the colour and form.

Adults, as seen here, resemble a leaf in shape, texture and colour. The mimicry is so impressive.

This little spring is located directly below the Pan Group of statues. The spring is an outflow of the large park lake and feeds the "Teufelsbach" (=devils's creek).

Bluebells on the ground and the trees just beginning to show a haze of green... signs of spring again.

Thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images. They are very much appreciated.

Here's a winter view and an autumn view of the same scene.

Eureka Springs is located just east of Tampa, Fl. It was once a lush estate served by natural springs, but the construction of the Tampa Bypass Canal nearby caused the springs to stop flowing. While the springs are essentially stagnant, the now county park still houses a botanical garden, greenhouse, and a nice boardwalk. Known for its large amount of ferns, even in the dead of winter the boardwalk is still fairly lush.

One of the reasons that I took a break from Flickr in September was to enter a couple of local calendar contests. I have already been notified that I won the April slot for one calendar. I will be sharing that image soon. The other calendar contest allows the public to choose the winners. If you would like to help me make this calendar as well, you can vote for my entry "Spring Showers." I think it would make a great April photo for this calendar. If you agree, please use the link below to vote. Voting closes on the 12th, so there is not much time left. Thanks!
