Trying out infrared photography for the first time. Not great, but a learning curve al the same! Spring Mountain Reserve, Greenbank, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
On a recent hike we spotted the early flowers on the currant plants near the trail. I love these little flowers and was surprised to see them in bloom so soon.Like many other places in the world we are experiencing warmer weather...it's pleasant but disturbing. We spoke to a member of the Elwah Tribe, who were instrumental in the dam removal on the Elwah River which it is hoped, will allow the native salmon return to spawn. Now there is concern that warm temperatures in the Pacific will prevent the fish from returning. I just finished reading "The Sixth Extinction" by Elisabeth Kolbert, which was excellent, but disturbing. I am sad & worried about the obvious signs of planetary change.
Explored! Thank you for all your visit and comments.I really appreciate them.

This winter might be a warm one - but this is (hopefully) still a bit into the future!
Rhipsalidopsis-Sym(Hatiora) are commonly called Easter Cactus or Spring Cactus and originate from Brazil.
Survived our winter bursts of cold weather wonderfully. So relieved as I was unable to cover it while recovering from a knee injury.
Nothing like that warm glow to remind us of Spring! Taken at the Red Butte Gardens at the University of Utah
i found several trees blooming in the canyon below Cornelius Falls recently; i liked this one the best. Cornelius Falls is close to Heber Springs, Arkansas.
I have no clue what this flowering shrub is in my yard. A friend let me dig a piece of it from their yard last summer and it's grown by leaps and bounds! It's covered in this sweet little pink buds & flowers now that Spring has arrived. If any of you can ID it for me, I'd be tickled "pink" to know what it is.
The hummingbird and bokeh overlays are from my dear friend Sue Gary’s “Glorious Nature Photography” Texture Set I . Thank you so much Sue!
NOTE: I recently changed my name from Winterberry Photography to T. Tilson Photography... so please disregard the watermark in this photo. I will have to go back and replace all my photos with the current watermark. Grrrrr.. that will be time consuming!
What I like particularly about this capture, naturally, is that the raised hide and the flirting storks on top frame the Ukrainian colours in the hide's window. Plus there's a red kite perched on a dead tree in the background that I only noticed looking at this photo afterwards :-)
We just experienced yet another reversal in the mild spring weather pattern here. A warm and dry phase quite rudely shoved aside by a cold and wet one. Frustrating to adapt to high temperatures in the mid-40s after experiencing the mid-80s. Still the change of seasons presents dynamic visuals that are greatly enhanced by the weather. Such was the scene here amid an expansive field of vibrant dandelions beneath a dark and brooding sky. I love the luminescent quality of flowers on overcast days. Even the grass seems full of vigor now that it is emerging from the dreary phase of winter. Viewed from a distance, the individual dandelions meld into a monolithic sea of yellow. Making my way into the meadow created a feeling of immersion into springtime. The vastness of the scene seemed best conveyed by a closeup view of a single dandelion. I was struck by the way the petals seemed to burst out like a miniature fireworks display of spring color.
"When you drink the water, remember the spring."
Chinese proverb
"Water flows humbly to the lowest level.
Nothing is weaker than water,
Yet for overcoming what is hard and strong,
Nothing surpasses it."
Lao Tzu (Laozi, lived in the 6th century BC)
"Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing, that makes it water and nobody knows what that is."
D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930)
"Water, the Hub of Life.
Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium.
Water is the most extraordinary substance!
Practically all its properties are anomalous, which enabled life to use it as building
material for its machinery.
Life is water dancing to the tune of solids."
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Hungarian Biochemist, 1937 Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1893-1986
"The underlying attraction of the movement of water and sand is biological. If we look more deeply we can see it as the basis of an abstract idea linking ourselves with the limitless mechanics of the universe."
Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe (1900–1996), landscape architect, garden designer, architect and author
"Our bodies are molded rivers."
Novalis (Georg Friedrich Freiherr von Hardenberg, 1772–1801)

This spring as it comes bursts up in bonfires green,
Wild puffing of emerald trees, and flame-filled bushes,
Thorn-blossom lifting in wreaths of smoke between
Where the wood fumes up and the watery, flickering rushes.
I am amazed at this spring, this conflagration
Of green fires lit on the soil of the earth, this blaze
Of growing, and sparks that puff in wild gyration,
Faces of people streaming across my gaze.
And I, what fountain of fire am I among
This leaping combustion of spring? My spirit is tossed
About like a shadow buffeted in the throng
Of flames, a shadow that's gone astray, and is lost.
- D.H. Lawrence

nichts zu sehen vom frühling, aber zum glück kann man sich den frühling schon mal ins haus holen.
there is still not a sign of spring outside but luckily flower shops offer “spring” to be taken home.
Even though the magic of birds singing and flowers blooming and green returning is still happening this spring, somehow this celebration of nature seems muffled this year by the pall of pandemic. I still admire the beauty of spring, but my heart is going out to all those who are suffering - may Heaven help us all ...
"We stand now where two roads diverge. but unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great ease, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road - the one less traveled by - offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth."
~ Rachel Carson, "Silent Spring"
These bright blooms come out early every year at the edge of a neighbor's property- so cheery to see! If THEY think it's spring, that's good enough for me!

21 March, I celebrated my birth-day today with good friends, it was a beautiful day full of joy and laughter...
On our way back, we drove all along the coast and stopped as the sun was setting, it was getting cold, the wind, but the sun was taking her time and regaling me with great spectacle in a soothing way.
Hope this brings a bit of joy again, have a good day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

#78/365 Well technically a day early but since tomorrow is PP friday then I thought I'd post my spring picture today. Enjoy it while you can because summer will be here before you know it! Please view this large, small just doesn't do it justice.
Not sure which species these are ... Rich tells me that we have at least Common & Blue Marsh (purple) violets at the wetlands. I've also found some white ones. Rich? Paula? you all around for an ID? The leaves on these are rather heart-shaped but long, not round hearts. I thought that might rule out Common.
In any case, a zillion violets in bloom right now in wet areas in N. Georgia. Rainy & cool here. Have a blessed Sunday!
