My wife picked up some tulips at the super market. I shot this on the kitchen counter with natural light. 1 second exposure at f/22.

Spring effect in Minneapolis. The ground is green, but the trees are still hesitating to wear green:)
Yellowstone National Park
A unique kind of spring exists at Mammoth Hot Springs, located in the northwest section of the park. Hot water ascends through ancient limestone deposits. The result is a landscape of terraces sculpted by travertine limestone.
At Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone visitors will enjoy views of travertine limestone terraces. Flowing waters spill over the colorfully streaked Minerva Terraces, resulting in a gentle waterfall appearance.
Hot gases are stored underneath the surface. Water seeps down into the ground and meets with these gases. Some of the gases are readily dissolved in the hot water to form an acid solution. This hot and acidic solution dissolves great quantities of limestone as it works up through the rock to the surface. Once exposed to the air, some of the carbon dioxide escapes from the solution. As this happens, limestone no longer remains in solution and it is deposited, resulting in the terraces.
Mammoth Hot Springs deposits about two tons of travertine limestone (calcium carbonate) per day.

They may have small flowers, but I find Lobelia really useful in providing a colourful background for petunias in hanging baskets and pots.
With temperatures trending upwards (to above seasonal) in the coming week, it won't be long before the Rideau Canal Locks open to pleasurecraft traffic.
This view looks north toward the Ottawa River, with the Alexandra (Interprovincial) bridge, which leads to way to La Belle Province, Québec.
Something in the shanghai spring air that day.... all the blurred background looks like oil painting... I just love the DOF!
My apologies for my MIA from flickr these days. I'll try to make my presence felt soon...
Mid-April and we are experiencing a spring snowstorm. Close to 25cm of snow so far. Even Odin seems annoyed. :)

A beautiful spring day on the Isle of Portland.
This is Church Ope Cove, where the beach huts are overlooked by the late 15th century remains of Rufus Castle. The ruins of St Andrew's Church are not visible in this photograph. I've mentioned in the past that the Isle of Portland seems a 'place apart' from the mainland. Further evidence comes from The Encyclopedia of Portland History that explains "Ope" was a local word for "an opening down to the water's edge".
Not surprisingly, being one of the few beaches on Portland, the cove has a long history of smuggling, fishing and also, piers no longer in situ for nearby quarrying. More bizarrely, in the 1950's, it was the landing site for two Russian agents aided by what became known as the Portland Spy Ring!
Dogwood Spring is one of five springs available for swimming at Ginnie Springs, a campground located outside of High Springs, FL. With its multitude of swimming holes right along the Sante Fe River, those looking for water activities have numerous options available. Overnight visitors have the ability to camp directly alongside the springs, which is certainly a benefit to campers though perhaps a detriment to those who want pure scenic quality.
Though Ginnie Springs on its own is a virtual spring mecca, it is but one location amongst many spring-based attractions just along the Sante Fe River, which runs northwest of Gainesville. Even more can be found along the Suwannee River, which takes in the Sante Fe not too distant from Ginnie Springs.
Walking on this nice and sunny, warm spring day, I felt a lightness and a spring in my step.
How could I not be drawn to the wisdom of nature. The natural flow of life...
With camera in hand, I played with some different shutter speeds, having some fun, both taking photos and just listening to the water flow.
As I look at this photo, I can see the water flow through the rocks, but also I notice an energizing quality and playfulness, rather like a ‘Spring Dance’
For #FlickrFriday theme of #Wisdom
Have a nice day! I wish you good health! :-)
The scent of spring flowers was sweet and my nose led the way as much as my eyes. Looks best on black "L". On the left of the photograph is an iridium flare.

On March 22, 2021, I made a quick visit to Frear Park in Troy, New York, USA. Spring is slow in arriving, but, remembering the location from a previous year, I noticed this one tulip leaf. According to the following article, this might be a Fosteriana Sweetheart. www.tulipsinthewoods.com/bulbs/tulip-foliage-2-2/
When I visited on March 16, 2016, things were further along. www.flickr.com/photos/mudder_bbc/25545987600/ For some reason, I've never photographed this plant in flower! I think this makes a lovely Spring still life. Please look at it in original size. It makes a lovely computer wallpaper, too!
