Tulip / Tulpe (Tulipa) in a vase

More tulips in my personal Tulip Collection.

First of the new floral dresses for Spring. I guess I've needed a bit of a jump start working my way out of Winter, floral dresses usually do the trick. That and some fun new Nine West sandals,

Some pink and purple Rhododendron bushes in Cowden Hall Estate in Neilston. A bit of a throwback to when it was a posh blokes garden.

....I hope will bring summer flowers and good crops.

Next stop, Chappo Spring. I spotted this on Google Maps a few years ago and decided to go for a look. Interesting, but not sure if it was worth the almost 10 mile round trip on the rough road.

Not sure of the history of this place. It doesn't appear to be a mining camp, but more like a homestead. If anyone knows, please comment.

Spring is almost past. One can spend a lot of time on a single one of these, playing with DOF

Provo River -- Utah County, Utah.

With unusually high temperatures here in Utah this week the snow pack is melting fast filling the rivers and creeks with icy cold, fast moving water.

And after the winter comes spring, the promise of warm mornings, bird song and the sweet smell of flowers....

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Tokyo

I went to see the Hanami, the cherry blossoms at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. It was a very busy place on Sunday. This is the main area with the pond, and the Upper House in the back.

I processed a realistic, a paintery, a photographic, and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
