today i was so surprised and happy about the first butterflies of 2015 .
So...sorry...today I add no architecture or urban shot on flickr. Today I add my feelings :-)
I went to Green Spring Gardens last month hoping to see hummingbirds. I only saw a couple, but I had no problems finding the Purple Martins, several of them were hanging out together.
The hummingbirds are here:
Blue Star Spring is located in Upper Geyser Basin, the same geyser basin that is home to the much-loved Old Faithful Geyser. Upper Geyser Basin has the highest concentration of geothermal features within Yellowstone National Park.
The temperature of the spring is 192°F (88 C). The water is super hot and we can see the steam as well. Dimensions are 9x10 feet, depth is 6 feet. It received its name from the star-like sinter formation around the edge of the pool. Extensive ledges have formed three to four feet over the crater, creating an illusion of a small spring. The ornate scalloped border of the ledge also extends along the overflow channel.

Today was such a gloriously warm day that I spent almost all of it outside, wandering in the trees and enjoying the feeling of wearing just a shirt and shorts, not even shoes. Spring is finally (hopefully) here and I'm excited about the next few months ahead. I laid in this field of grass and listened to Fleet Foxes, a group of deer trottled by and didn't even notice that I was there....
While waiting on this location for some different light (and a different compo) I took this 5 shot panorama and I'm surpriced with the result in a positive way. There were some stitching errors which I had to fix (and are still there I see! :p have to fix that later)
Once more my eyes open to the light of a new Spring morning. Lured by colors of fleeting beauty fading like morning dew. Gazing from petal to petal, following their gentle contours as they sway, like fiery fluffy balls of joy floating away on warm waves. Each wave to set the stage for the new season ahead.
Wishing everyone a wonderful morning ahead with another photo from "Spring Inspirations - The Azaleas." Thanks for the favs and kind words. They are much appreciated!

Spring....My flicker friends you are all so talented and bring such joy to me everyday....I thank you for your wonderful photographs, way of seeing the world around you and information.
I started a blog a while back with the idea that it would be nice to share our neighbourhoods with pictures and stories. We could create a better understanding of our world in general. We know our hoods intimately and photos and stories go along way to further the understanding of what is going on....migration, mating etc.
If you are interested in participating please email me. Your photographs are inspiring and I would like to share what you know with others. The more we share the more we understand and hopefully the more we will protect this world we live in.
I hear the quail calling in my back yard....can't wait to see what you all post today!!!
