Yosemite spring 2006. It was a good year for water in the park. Canham 4x5.

Bright spring foliage on the trees and bushes on the banks of Merced River in Yosemite Valley.

Thank you for your views, comments and faves.

First of a set of four

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.

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.

BEST VIEWED LARGE!!

Just a normal Spring Time shot taken a few years ago, from my archives!

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.

Second Life - Garden of Dreams

A close up of one of my potted cacti in bloom this spring. Although, Tucson Arizona had a severe three day freeze, the cactus and other hardy desert plants have survived extremely well.

I think it would be pretty cool if we could "spring forward" on a Wednesday at 3:00pm instead of on a weekend night.

Eh, maybe next year.

Cheers to later sunsets and warmer light!

And to springing forward...even if it is on a weekend.

Emsworthy Mire gets its name from its boggy bottom! An expanse of wet woodland and marshy ground fed by the Becka Brook which runs through the reserve.

The nature reserve sits below Saddle Tor between Widecombe-in-the-Moor and Haytor. A gently sloping valley leads you down between ancient dry-stone walls to the ruins of a moorland farm, abandoned since the 1870s.

Each spring the nature reserve becomes a stunning blaze of violet as several of its fields are covered in bluebells.

I know that this location has been photographed a million times, but as Miserable May drew to a close, we were promised a rare morning of blue skies. I knew that I had missed the bluebells for this year, but thought that there may be a chance that some may still be lingering on Dartmoor. So off I set – across the border into Devon.

Surprisingly the bluebells had yet to be fully enticed from their grassy bed by the warmth of the morning sun, but the sparse carpet was still very pretty, and the air was filled with the babble of the brook, and the occasional call of a cuckoo, oh – and some very gobby sheep!

Table Rock, Linville Gorge, NC

I recently made my first trip up to Table Rock since the fire back in November. I was relieved to see that there were only isolated burnt areas along the trail and not much damage on the top portion that I covered. The serviceberry trees were in bloom which signals the beginning of spring in these parts.

We have had so much rain this week and then, finally, a spring break. Hope that everybody has a fun weekend. I'll be by to visit soon - lots to catch up on.

Happy Spring everyone!

I've been too busy with work to do much else, but with the roll out of new Flickr, I thought it was an opportune time to upload a couple shots. Boy was I wrong, new Flickr.....so NOT a fan!

For Our Daily Challenge.

The challenge - Yellow.

Tomorrow is the first day of spring and the weather has certainly felt that way for the last few days.

All the bulbs are starting to come up and flower.

This petite daffodil is part of a lovely plant given to me by a friend.

Daffodils are so beautiful both in color and shape I wish we could enjoy them for a longer period of time.

The Redbuds near the lake have begun to bloom with

Spring color.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!

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!
